The GSCC Street Fair ...
was great fun for everyone who attended, despite the stormy weather. We are sure that the inclement weather kept many people from making the trip to Georgia Street (at least we hope that's the reason for the poor attendance)
We would like to thank all the volunteers who helped out that day...especially the IICD volunteers who gave so selflessly of their time, and brought the terrific games and International Taste Fest.
We would also like to thank those who did brave the weather to join us.
Here are some pictures....enjoy!
