Thousands of people visited the 11th annual Laurel Street Fair on Sunday, thronging the streets to snack on treats, visit local merchants, and listen to an exciting line-up of professional musicians perform, all of whom live in the Laurel. The Jon Santos Sextet, Acme All-Stars and Valerie Troutt were featured players, and they soared.

The festival was a day for families as well, with a well-attended Kids Zone  that had a petting Zoo and Carnival Rides, as well as Obstacle Courses and tons of art and craft stations,

OL intern Stefan Armijo was there and took lots of good pictures--enjoy!
