The evening concluded with a Barn Dance featuring local artists Tim Castle & Young Southern.

Here are some more photos from the event by freelacne photographer Earlene Frederick:

The weather was nice, but if it had not been, the town had the capacity to move activities into the large spaces in the Fire Station/Highway Building. The craft and vendor fair show here was set-up inside regardless. /Earlene Frederick photo

    Big thanks to all who really advanced the event, w-o-r-k-e-d long and unusual hours to MAKE IT HAPPEN! The SAFETY-VESTers and the PUMPKIN SHIRTers ESPECIALLY… as anyone who entertains knows, the event is still occurring with the take-down, put-away, clean-up, make-it-like-it-was efforts all at the same time as keeping the regluar daily life moving along smoothly!

    Thanks to all those who donated, participated, showed us that they like WHERE THEY LIVE! Where WE Live…..

    I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to all of the Town employees who put in countless hours, attended endless meetings, and gave 110 per-cent. To all of the volunteeers who stepped up to all of the various tasks. To all of the vendors who participated. And most of all to all of the great people who came and enjoyed the days festivities. Special thanks to the guys from Public Works who were such gracious hosts, prepring their building and sharing it with everyone to enjoy.
