Second Fridays
by Jan Cox
Historic Old Town, Chester, will once again be the center of the Second Friday celebrations each month from June through October. From 5 to 8pm, these evenings will be alive with music, food, arts and crafts, a farmer’s market, merchant offerings, and visitor information.
B & B Booksellers, Backroom Gallery will be hosting art openings on these evenings, so be sure and stop in to browse this delightful gallery and enjoy a glass of wine and some appetizers. Then move across the street to surround yourself with the great live sounds of area musicians including Stone and Straw, Eight O’ Clock Jazz, and Dave Manning.
As you wander through the booths, your senses may be teased by the great food offerings from various vendors set up to serve delicious, mouthwatering meals. Or you may spot just the fresh fruit or vegetable you want for tomorrow’s dinner from the on-site farmer’s market. Perhaps you would like to know more about this area; check the Chamber of Commerce booth that is full of pertinent information or talk to representatives from local community organizations. Browse through merchant offerings for that special souvenir or gift. New this year will be pony rides! What a great way to relax and enjoy time with friends and family or to entertain guests new to this area. Hope to see you there!
