A sunny, mild Saturday night after weeks of almost daily rain brought a great turnout to the final concert of the Festival of the Bells, as uptown Hillsboro was packed with fans of rising country music stars RaeLynn and Chase Bryant on Independence Day.

RaeLynn opened the Saturday night show with her upbeat, youthful music, including “Kissin’ Frogs,” “God Made Girls” and her latest hit, “For A Boy.”

Singer-songwriter Bryant closed the 2015 Festival concert series with a mixture of his hits, including “Wayfarer Weather,” top 10 hit “Take It On Back” and current single “Little Bit of You.”

Both artists also entertained crowds with covers of other artists' music. Crowds danced as RaeLynn played a country version of Meghan Trainor’s pop hit “All About That Bass,” and Bryant encouraged audience participation on the Steve Miller Band classic “The Joker.”

Festival guests also enjoyed a full schedule of events Saturday, including the annual Pet Parade, Baby Parade and corn hole tournament on Saturday morning. Afternoon events included gymnastics and cheerleading performances and a scavenger hunt.
