Record crowd for Waldron's Freedom Festival in '21; world's record in 2022?

The Waldron Freedom Festival capped off its holiday weekend celebration with a massive fireworks show Saturday.  And the crowd that visited the Waldron schools grounds where the festival is hosted may have been a record.

 

As more and more people assemble for events coming off the pandemic and a weather forecast made for a 4th of July weekend, Waldron Will hosted a festival that had food vendors running out of offerings dealing with a huge audience that maxed out parking and viewing areas for the Premier Pyro show.
