A photo-op with the town's most famous statue.
Tammy and Josh, enjoying the festivities.
A local auction during the festival. This NYPD (I think) T-shirt
was being auctioned off to raise money for one of the relief efforts in
New York City. As I recall, the shirt finally sold for $50 to a local
businessman, who then donated the shirt to the Standing on a Corner Park
Committee. This festival took place less than a month after the attacks
of September 11, 2001.
In this case, the auction was coming to the people. A baseball
cap for sale.
Plaque dedicated to those local residents who contributed to making
this urban park a reality.
Today the streets were auto-free, instead taken over by pedestrians
and those in armchairs enjoying the local band.
A bit of patriotism walking by the bandstand.
