In spite of the weather, we had a good day in Bethel last Saturday. Thanks to everyone who came out in spite of the rain! Vendors, musicians, volunteers, chili cook-off, and guests—having lots of conversations, plenty of laughs, and great entertainment—you're why we continue to have events here in Bethel. Enjoy a few pics from the day...
