Crowds filled the streets of downtown Eagleville for Saturday’s Main Street Festival, as guests strolled in and out of the booths that lined the roadsides, or visited local restaurants and businesses.

Many local residents hosted their own yard or estate sale during the festival as well, giving the event’s nearly 2,000 guests additional shopping opportunities within the local community.

During her time in detention, defense attorney Terry Fann explained that Bennett had spent her 15-year wedding anniversary away from husband, Mike Bennett who also took the stand and testified on his wife’s behalf.
