This year’s theme? America 250, with local businesses like the Purple Daizi Day Spa crafting giant hay sculptures of baseball bats, hot dogs, and apple pies — even the bank bid farewell to the penny with a hay bale tribute. Highlights include a soaring eagle, Uncle Sam, and a hilarious Ronald Reagan homage (“Re-HAY-gan!”). Local artist Ashley Francis wowed crowds with her “Hayy Dolly” sculpture — a Dolly Parton-inspired hay bale holding a guitar, flanked by butterflies. It’s more than just decoration: it’s community pride, creativity on display, and a magnet for visitors from nearby towns.
