On June 4, nearly 1,500 people gathered at Kearsley Park for the Ryan Bellows Bluegrass Bazaar for Bluegrass music, dancing, children’s activities, vendors, games and more. This year’s event included 9 bands, and the first Bluegrass Fun Run. The community focused, free festival was established in 2014 by Ryan Bellows, who passed away that year.
