The rain held off for the first 2018 Rock the Block and the crowds came out to enjoy the Friday evening event.

Attractions included fun things for the kids to do, food from snacks like ice cream and kettle corn to barbeque and fried shrimp.  The group Manshoes provided live music including popular oldies and there were also lots of shopping and craft booths to check out.

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.

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.
