Second Saturdays on Main St.

We've been talking this event up in The Review for a number of weeks. It has, of course, brought its share of scoffers, especially considering the first event took place on Bike Race weekend. Race weekend was also the time of the now defunct Main St. Stroll. But in case you were not there. This recent event raised money for Alex's Lemonade Stand; but featured so much more.

"" Two children ran up Cotton St.ahead of their mother towards Mugshots Coffeehouse and Cafe just after 4 p.m. Mugshots had a screening of the animated film Happy Feet.
"You going to see Happy Feet," Terry Hatcher called out to the kids as they ran by.
"Yes," the kids shouted back.
"We're running a little late," said the children's mother. "They had to get their faces painted first."
Film screenings and face paintings were just some of the things that families could experience during the Second Saturday event. Artists painted, drew or sketched outside shops along Main St. Musicians performed in front of Propper Bros and Orbit Art Gallery."'

A number of excellent artists and musicians were on display during the day, here is some videos taken from the event. The first is artist Charles Cushing working on his latest piece, can you identify the location?




There was also live music for those who decided to stroll along Main St. on Bastille Day. A number of singers and songwriters performed along Main St., here the Tony Mecca Trio perform in front of Orbit Art Gallery.



Hope to see you at the next Second Saturday, Aug. 11.
