The headliner group Molly Hatchet and Hells Bells: #1 AC/DC Tribute performed at Freedom Fest Saturday night in downtown Junction City. Their concerts drew a good crowd as the celebration moved into day four.
Nate Butler, Freedom Fest C0-Chair, said, "This is an excellent excellent week we're out here doing. "Butler enjoyed the bands. "I'm an old rocker and I love rock. We've got a great lineup that's been good."
Butler guessed that total attendance for the five-day Freedom Fest period might hit 50,000.
Cory Odell, Assistant Police Chief, confirmed that there had not been any major incidents or problems in the park this week. The JCPD kept eight officers on duty there daily during the celebration.
Helicopter rides were a popular new feature this year.
