Eagle Lake gets wild

The annual Eagle Lake Wild Festival transformed downtown Eagle Lake this past Saturday, Sept. 28, into a daylong entertainment haven.

A 5K fun run and walk kicked things off that morning at 7:30 a.m. and signified what was to come for the rest of the morning, afternoon and evening.

Attendees had the pick of the bunch throughout the day from a variety of different activities, from bouncy houses and interactive games for kids, an escape room, a car show sponsored by the Eagle Lake Police Department, a free to enter biergarten for Oktoberfest, an escape room, food trucks, live music, decoy chunking, cornhole, a scavenger hunt, multiple cook-offs and much, much more.
