   Thousands of people enjoyed the
Madison Down Home Days Festival
held Friday, April 15, through
Saturday, April 16, in beautiful down-
town Madison.
   On Friday, April 15, a flower show
was held; the dog contest was held;
Becky's Dance Steps Studios put on
their annual showcase; there was a
dessert bakeoff. The Beautiful Baby
contest winners were announced and
the  Citizen of the  Year was
announced with Juan Botino receiv-
ing this year's top honors.
   The next morning, the annual
parade was a highlight, as Juan
Botino served as Grand Marshal. A


number of activities, including a
Diaper Derby, a Frog Hop, and a 5K
run were held. There were also lots
of arts and crafts and food booths, as
well as the Marine Band and other
talent to keep everyone entertained.
   The    Professional Cowboy
Association also held a rodeo, which
was sponsored by Tobacco Free
Florida. A number of local cowboys
and cowgirls participated in the rodeo
and were able to show their home
crowd their roping, riding and barrel
racing skills on Friday and Saturday
evenings.
   Everyone who attended Down
Home Days seemed to go away
pleased and smiling and waiting for
next year's event.
