A group of local children carefully watch as a handful of bouncy balls are thrown from a float during the annual OtterFest parade on Saturday morning. The bouncy balls went into the crowd and some were even bouncing down the streets as people tried to gather them and put the collectible balls in the bag. OtterFest featured large crowds throughout the weekend for everything from the demo derby to the parade, fireworks and games throughout the day.
