owner Cameron Reiten.
“The level of participation
in the event clearly shows
how eager people are to

Compared to last year’s

past.”
Due to coronavirus
concerns and restrictions,
organizers expected a less
enthusiastic turnout.
“We throttled back on
the promotion because we
wanted to keep our atten-
dance mostly local to cut
down on the possibility of
anyone bringing more of
the virus to Cottage Grove,”
said Reiten. “Though we
recognized the need to take
precautions, we pushed
hard to proceed with the
