Day3, 6-19-2004 Saint Catherine Festival

The final day of the Festival is bittersweat...the workers have gotten their jobs down to a science, but everyone is so tired they are walking slower and looking a bit worn for wear. We were blessed with a perfect evening....warm and dry but with a refreshing cool breeze that made it seem like early autumn. The crowds were lighter then opening day, but steady throughtout the evening. There was a lot of activity prior to the Festival that these web albums didn't record (the setting up, the purchasing, the pricing of Trash and Treasure and Silent Auction)...more then I can record in these few lines. And, now that the Festival is over there will be a lot of volunteers doing the tear down and clean up. THANK YOU one and all for all that you do!
