The Fourth Annual Tingley Memorial Park Celebration brought hundreds of people to the small community on a picture-perfect weather day on a Sunday afternoon and evening.
The Ringgold County Cattlemen grilled hamburgers and served over 600 burgers prior to pie and ice cream being served.
Hoover Angus of Tingley sponsored the homemade ice cream contest, splitting $550 in prize money between the winners.
