POTD: Cedar Park Heritage Festival

Saturday marked the second annual Cedar Park Heritage Festival, held beneath the Heritage Oak tree in town (which thankfully provided some much-needed shade on that 100 degree day.) The event showcased the heritage of this area that was formerly populated by cedar choppers who made their living cutting cedar posts on the acres of juniper trees that surround the community.

The one-day event included local arts and crafts:
blackpowder demonstrations:

performances by the Austin band, Duck Soup:

a demonstration by the K-9 division of the Cedar Park Police Department:


and squaredancing demonstrations:
