This was the second year they have run this particular event (sponsored by the Artisans Shoppe) and it was pretty well attended for a small scale event. The weather, at least, cooperated with nice comfortable temperatures and lots of sunshine. There were several vendors from nearby stores, lots of free food from local venues, a Cub Scout Pack had its Pinewood Derby materials on display, youth cheerleaders, live music, local country radio coverage (KC101.5), an animal shelter presence with lots of cute kitties and several well-behaved dogs, prize drawings, and more.
I took a few pictures but got wrapped up in several discussions and missed some of the best activities.
Several dozen young girls performed cheers to start the day.
Soon afterward, a band began playing an eclectic mixture of country and rock from the ‘60s, ‘70s and ‘80s. They were surprisingly good.
People were wandering through all morning and into the early afternoon (when we were relieved by other members of TAS). Some brought their kids out for a nice walk through the town of Wellsboro and onto our little street. Others came by walking their dogs. At least one woman had some stranger pets that she brought out to enjoy the sunshine.
A beautiful green Amazonian parrot (of the Piratical persuasion) and a lovely green iguana of a matching shade.
Terry and I had a good time and enjoyed talking to those who stopped to look at our bird houses and feeders.

Sounds like you had a good time! The only time something like that is available, here, is when the Green Party or the Gay/Lesbian Alliance throws a party in the park strip.
What a nice party! had to laugh at the last photo - it looks like the parrot is biting the iguana on the back!
I asked about that (and the raised head of the iguana witht he neck fringe prominent) and was told that the iguana was the alpha in this pairing. The parrot was just taking advantage of the turned back!
