We enjoyed an AMAZING day yesterday at our Third Annual Dogwood Community Band Festival!

So many thanks to all of the bands that participated and to our sponsors: Cookeville Leisure Services Department, Imagine Foundry, UC Makerspace, Pepsi, and the Cookeville Community Band for helping to make this awesome festival possible.

Also a huge thank you to everyone who took the time to come enjoy music and community in the park, as well as the kids activities, food vendors, and local organizations' booths. It was one heck of a day!

If you weren't able to make it then you have the chance to get just a taste of the magic tomorrow (Monday, June 8th) by joining us at the pavilion for the next Community Band Concert at 7:30.
