The community formerly known as Dairy City came together last weekend for the annual Cypress Community Festival.
The last Saturday in July every year, Californians from near and far gather at Oak Knoll Park for food and festivities. Mark your calendars for July 25, 2020 for next year’s iteration. Here are some numbers from this year’s festival:
-12,000: the approximate number of people that attended
-78-85: degrees over the course of the day
-22: cars entered in the car show
-200: vendor booths

-500: breakfasts served by Kiwanis
-5: live bands that entertained the crowd
-90: age of Ms. Gloria Livingston, who was honored this year as the first festival chair of the Cypress Community Festival and remains involved today
-39: years that the festival has gone on
