The bouncy houses at the Ozark Orchard Festival were probably the most popular with the youngsters who bounced around in them all day. Donations from the First Community Bank and Cornerstone Bank secured the cost of the bouncy houses and bouncy obstacle course, which the children thoroughly enjoyed.
