Hedley hosted its 73rd Cotton Festival last Friday and Saturday, October 10 and 11, with a large crowd from nearby communities and lots of activities this year.
Organizers were pleased with the event which drew about 20 vendors in addition to food trucks and other forms of entertainment. An alumni reunion at the Hedley school was also well attended Saturday.
Several drawings were held to raise funds for local organizations. The Cotton Bale raffled off by the Lions Club was won by Jean Taylor, and Debbie Kennedy won the 50/50 raffle to support the Hedley Volunteer Fire Department.
The Hedley Senior Citizens held three drawings. Nathan Floyd won that 50/50 pot, Tom Heck won the Henry riffle, and Kerry Cartrite won the drawing for the shotgun.
