The Band Perry rocked Uptown Hillsboro Friday night during the second day of the 27th annual Festival of the Bells. 

 

Festival chairperson Michael Bradford said the Friday crowd may have been big enough to eclipse the 2007 crowd when an estimated 17,000 people turned out to see Taylor Swift. 

 

Friday's events included traditional festival games, such as kiddie and adult tractor pulls, and outhouse races. A new festival feature included a "best legs" competition with male contestants. The crowd picked Highland County Commissioner Shane Wilkin for the honor. 

 

Saturday activities will include a pet parade, children's games on the courthouse lawn, three performances by "The Whip Guy" and the popular "human tractor pulls."

 

Bringing the festival to a close Saturday night will be country singer Easton Corbin.
