C.R. Freedom Festival Returns With Popular Events
The Cedar Rapids Freedom Festival is back for 2021!
Last year, the Freedom Festival s series of events were wiped out by the COVID-19 pandemic but they re back with a ton of great events, the first of which begins on Monday, June 14.
Derecho Log Carving Demonstration
For the first time, and hopefully the last in all honesty, a Log Carving Demonstration will be held at the Jones Park Lagoon Pavilion on June 14.

This page will go live on Monday, May 24, and will have the carvings added to it as they are completed.

She helped us through a trying time by just being her energetic, affectionate tail-wagging self. When thereâs nowhere to go, you stay home. And take the dog for lots of walks. And make lots of visits to the empty neighborhood dog park. And take your dog on hikes at stat
