Here are a few of the many faces and scenes from the weekend’s Spring Stroll in the Village and Gone Country Barbeque Festival with music and amusement rides at the Community Center.
Some of the photos appear in this week’s Press and others were sent to us by email earlier this week.
Andrea Atkins emailed this sidewalk artwork of a familiar subject, “catching the perfect moment as my daughter springs over sidewalk art, at this weekend’s BBQ fest.”
From Lisa Carpenter came this photo of her son William Carpenter, a sophomore at Ridgefield High School who participated in the Chalk Festival on Main Street last Saturday during the Spring Stroll. His subject was the popular Einstein in black and white.
Caroline Halloway won the Spring Stroll baking contest at Elizabella’s Bake Shop with a cake shaped like the Cass Gilbert Fountain, which she passes on her way to East Ridge Middle School. “I see it every morning,” she said. She’s 13, and said she’s been baking since she was “about six.” —Macklin Reid photo
