Saturday, a festival not held for 21 years was brought back to life in Benton.

“I remember it being fun, exciting, community oriented,” Steve Browning said. “It brought a lot of people together.”

After consulting with the Franklin County Farm Bureau, Browning organized the first City Farm Day in more than two decades.

The day, meant to celebrate the farm industry in Illinois, brought hundreds of people to the Benton Public square for a festival of food, fun and all things farming.
