Part 1 of 3

 

As for all Bridgeport festival events (Spring and Fall), I photographed what appeared to be interesting topics but made no attempt to photograph all of the many activities.  For this you are invited to view pictures of several of the events over the years to capture more of their scope.  A poster near the restored Kneebone gas station lists all of the activities in progress this year.  It is the first photo below.  Click on Ragged but Right to view three photos of this band, which performed again this year.  These will open in a separate tab which you can close to return.
