The morning of the First began bright and early. Early enough that I did not think to take pictures at the 5k. But as the day progressed, I found my camera. We had everything from actors in The Patriot, to over 80 classic cars (some of them very incredible!), great grilled chicken, pretzels, slushies, etc., craft vendors, a roaming barbershop quartet, a fine classic rock concert (including some audience participation), and a great sunset. It was a beautiful day and I heard many good comments. I hope you all enjoyed yourselves. I think this is a great town and I am glad that I live here. — Joshua Petrillo, webmaster
