Despite wet weather, Bell Buckle enjoyed a respectable crowd for its annual Daffodil Day Festival.

Ribbons were awarded during the Daffodil Flower Show to all who entered. Daffodil Day included the annual Arbor Day ceremony at which Bell Buckle was awarded its eighth-year Tree City USA designation; it is the smallest city in the state to earn that honor. Shelbyville-based Duck River Electric Membership Corp. won the Tree Line USA award for the fourth year.

Carla Webb put on a production of "Tweedy and the Daffodily," to an enthusiastic response from local Forester Tom Hall, who wanted a copy of the production to use as marketing for the Forestry Division.
