Beardsley has an annual picnic in the park that brings you back to the best of yesteryear. Families gather – the kids play in the playground while the adults visit and enjoy the day. Odessa hosts a fun 4th of July parade and an afternoon of outdoor games, Correll, Johnson, and Barry! – #LivingRuralandLovingIt
