Willow Springs' annual Bear City Fall Festival has a history of drawing large crowds to its downtown festivities, as seen in this photo from last year's event. In its 51st year, the festival includes live music, a car show, vendors along Main Street, contests, a Chicken Pageant and a Doxie Dash. This year, dachshunds participating in the dash also have an opportunity to dress up for a change to win a costume contest.
