29th annual Roots Festival

From 29th annual Roots Festival Website:

Last year in 2017 we had an estimated 6000 people of all ages attended the 2-day Festival held in the beautiful Paola Park Square. We are pleased to have provided a fun and entertaining event for our community. Just a sample of last years festival highlights include, a wide variety of live music featuring "Vintage Trouble", "Paul Thorn", "Amy Helm", "Stoney LaRue" and "The Nightowls". Other great festival attractions included ethnic dancers, arts & crafts, food vendors, The East Central State BBQ Championship Cook-off and for our younger festival goers, great games and fun rides!
