Colony Day featured a parade, a cornhole tournament, kids tractor pull, homemade pie contest, homemade salsa competition, vendors, and musical entertainment by the band Prairie Fire on Saturday.
The “Homegrown Blooms of Fun” float went all out while keeping to the theme. Ladies dressed as sunflowers spritzed the crowd with water, giving some relief from the afternoon heat.
