August Friday at the Crossroads shortened by rain but still was fun while it lasted.

For the first time since the event started last year the rain dampened the spirits of the bi-monthly community downtown celebration Friday at the Crossroads.  The event started at 4 PM and was just getting wound up by 5:30 when rain, wind and thunderstorms moved through the downtown area sending most displays and visitors undercover.

 The next Friday at the Crossroads will be held October 6.  And the second Rock the Block event held along North Stanley Street is set for September 8.

Friday at the Crossroads brought out kids with the

theme Back to School.

Painting and hiding rocks remains a popular pastime for kids. 

Kids could even try and "Dunk a Teacher" courtesy of the

Rotary Club for a small donation.

Many local businesses and organizations had displays

Churches too.

It's always great to see folks downtown!

Next Friday at the Crossroads August 4 in Downtown Crossville

The popular Friday at the Crossroads event comes every two months and this Friday August 4th is the next one.  This event promotes "Back to School" and many participants will be collecting school items and funds to help children who need school supplies their family can't afford and to help teachers as well.

Above and below are photos from the June

Friday at the Crossroads.

 

The event, as always, will feature great shopping and extended hours by many downtown businesses. There will be music, food and games and activities for kids.  Don't forget that many participants are not just on Main Street and the events cover blocks on either side of Main Street as well.

Don't miss the kids petting zoo from Hope Farm located next to Villa Del Funk on West Avenue.
