Thursday afternoon and night seems a slightly off time for this type of action. Yet it appeared to be pretty well attended.
The lage parking area between the main square and the station was filled with cars, and the downtown was busy with shoppers. 
Table 220 was had diners both outside and inside and live music was performed inside the restaurant, and the music could be heard outside nearby. Clearly there was room for a lot more music.
The stores that were participating in the crawl had art work on the sidewalk and more art could be seen right inside the door .
Some of the artists were attending their presentation, graciously answering questions and talking about their work. Lawrence Rice was one of the most prominent with his display of Aviation Art. www.riceart.net.
Snacks were available in several of the venues, along with wine offerings.
Clearly the main action was taking place at Taste Full Beans Coffeeshop where Joe Clayton Young was talking about some of his interesting photos. One of the big questions had to be “How do you get all these people to relax and act so normal when you are making their pictures?” I tried to talk with him but he seemed to spend a good bit of the evening talking with another gentleman who had a camera around his neck.
Island Style was not participating in the crawl but its distinctive art was hard to pass up. and a nearby store showed a preview of coming attractions. Hmmmm. I wonder if they meant Halloween or the election!
