Even though it was postponed for a week due to rain, the Huckleberry Frolic was a big success last Saturday as hundreds of attendees enjoyed the sunny weather, the music, the arts and crafts tables and the delicious food.

Starting with a parade into the park, local and nearby businesses, organizations, schools, and others manned tables during the day, offering wares, food and information to the public.

The Frolic is the annual fundraiser for the Grist Mill Museum, which is now officially open on weekends throughout the summer months.
