A week ago Farm-City Days was on life support. Tuesday night new life was pumped into the Iola tradition as citizens turned out to show support, share ideas and sign up to volunteer for this year’s festival.
In terms of attendance for the meeting, the organizing committee wasn’t sure what to expect.
“We had no expectations coming into this,” Ashlee Mathews, Farm-City Days organizer, said. “We were just hoping the community would show they cared about the festival.”
