BEATTY — Crowds converged on the town’s Cottonwood Park last weekend to mark the annual Beatty Days event.
The small-town celebration featured a number of retail and food vendors, music, a classic car show and several creative competitions, from bed races and Halloween-costume contests to the pickle liquor hoot ‘n holler.
In case you missed it, Richard Stephens captured these photos from this year’s event.
