Story and photos by Hal Goodtree.
Cary, NC – I had a chance to stop by the Old Time Winter Festival in downtown Cary on Saturday. It was a lively good time and a beautiful afternoon so I took a few pictures.
Cary Citizen contributing photographer Brooke Meyer ended up taking the Santa pictures.
An outdoor theater had been set up on the north side of the street. I caught a few of the dance performances. Best costumes definitely went to this group.
Vendors and artists lined Chatham Street from Harrison to Academy.
Good times, low-key, neighborhoody and nice – that was this year’s Old Time Winter Festival.
