The Black Lab, 121 N. Main St., is the first place winner of this year's downtown retail window decorating contest. The store receives a traveling trophy as a prize.
By all accounts this year's Blaze was a "sell out" for local food vendors. Temperatures hovering in the high 50s-low 60s not only brought out the crowds but attracted a higher number of parade entrants than in previous years.
