The overcast weather didn't dampen the spirits of hundreds of town seekers who came out this first Friday of June 2015 to enjoy good eats and good treats. I was skeptical about First Friday ever taking off -- I've sat outside and sold books on a couple and it didn't seem to be much different than any other Friday--but it's obvious now that word has gotten out! And it's just what the city needed.
Tonight there were musicians, artisans, authors (Belinda Miller, Carol Covin, Dan Verner, and Nancy Kyme), period actors, and just a lot of folks having fun. Cornhole tournaments and chalk drawing contests filled Center Street. Several shops had free cookies and drinks to entice patrons. And tomorrow, June 6, is the Railway Festival, which is sure to draw more people into Old Town. I'll be signing my books in front of Prospero's from 10 a.m. till 4 p.m. Enjoy these pictures from tonight, and we'll see you on the next First Friday, July 3, one day before Independence Day! Vic
