Norwood hosted its 40th Farmers Day last Saturday as many area residents packed downtown for a full line-up of events.
Farmers Day included both a main parade and children’s parade, games, crafts, music and more.
Entertainment included music from the Abundance Quartet, a fantastic southern gospel quartet out of Branson, and Centerline Band, a country, classic rock back featuring musicians from the local area.
There was also a 3rd Annual Pie and Cobbler Baking Contest.
