The annual Aurora Country Festival brought visitors from around the region in to shop from their favorite vendors, enjoy their favorite treats, take a hayride, listen to entertainment, view demonstrations or watch the parade. The event, which began Friday and concluded Sunday, included a parade Saturday with Grand Marshal Judge-Executive Kevin Neal and live entertainment. The annual event has been a tradition in Aurora for more than 40 years.
