Pop and country songs drifted in the air, energizing the crowd; some tapped their toes and some began dancing along to the tunes. The smell of freshly popped corn and grilled hotdogs filled the air while children bounced in the fun zone activities. Inside the fire department bay, fire- rescue tools were on display along with fire safety pamphlets. Firefighters were on hand to answer questions, and free blood pressure checks were offered and prizes were offered.

The rain is both a fading memory and a distant promise is a metaphor that fits perfectly for ChesterFest, last week’s 14th annual event. While only about three-fourths of the 150 scheduled vendors set up at the Fest, those crafters, merchants and charities were happy with the day.

And though you might think that the volunteers who each year pour blood sweat and tears into ChesterFest might give it up following such a weather challenging…
