Becky Long • Clay County Progress Lindsey Liden and sister Emolyn Liden tune up the Festival on the Square Sunday with unique, old-time music which is a family tradition for them. The festival is sponsored by Clay County Historical and Arts Council. It drew a large crowd on Saturday and was a little more subdued on Sunday which is usually the case. Vendors reported good sales and attendees reported delicious food and by all accounts everyone was grateful for the sunny, albeit hot weather.
