Karol Klamm, Cottonwood Falls, works on a loom during the Flint Hills Folk Festival in Cottonwood Falls Sunday, June 15.

After a week of storms, the weekend’s bright, clear weather proved perfect for two area communities that had annual festivals scheduled.

Madison Days — that town’s annual community celebration — drew townspeople and visitors alike for the event’s blend of participatory games and good food.

Cassidy Barnard, 12 reaches for a water as she and Morgan Thompson, 13, enter into the 30th minute of the hula hoop contest a during Madison Days Saturday, June 14. The water was Barnards downfall as she was kocked out of the contest moments later.

At Cottonwood Falls, artisans celebrated pioneer life with the Flint Hills Folklife Festival. The festival included hands-on demonstrations of old-time crafts and chores, along with booths selling crafts.

As always, one of the most popular booths was the one selling homemade root beer.
