Cottage Grove, Tenn.–Henry County officials Mike Wilson (at the wheel), Randi French and Donna Craig wave to the crowd at Thursday’s 49th annual Cottage Grove Freedom Festival. As usual, the festivities began with a parade to Cardinal Park, where the rest of the highlights–including Cake Walk, ice cream and grilled hamburgers, bingo, corn hole, game booths, tug of war–were held. The extra hot day-long festival was capped off with fireworks.
