Local sunflower festival presses on, but with socially-distanced changes
The 5th annual Beaver Dam Farm Sunflower Festival attracted thousands of people so far. Everyone that comes leaves here with a smile.โThe event did make several socially-distanced changes for the year. Weโre not going to cancel, so how do we make it happen?โโThe sunflower festival also featured vendors such as Tamara Dennis who said itโs a vital event for her business. All of my summer events were either cancelled or modified.โDennis said sheโs grateful the sunflower festival could keep going this year. The sunflower festival continues on Saturday, Sept. 19.
