Pleasanton celebrated its last “1st Wednesday Street Party” of the year. It was a perfect, warm, summer evening for the five-month run of the celebration to end. Men, women, boys, girls, babies in strollers, and an occasional canine, enjoyed strolling down the center of Main Street, which was blocked off from traffic. Interesting booths from various vendors ran down the center of the street with many unique shops, businesses, and restaurants open along the perimeter of the historic downtown district. The local band, Magic Moments, performed their “50’s Legends Review” which got many people up out of their seats and dancing. those seeking more mellow tunes were entertained by members of the local, all-woman Harmony Fusion Chorus. Food ranged from snow cones to kettle corn to Teriyaki Chicken. Beer, from major brands and micro-brews were on tap as well as wines from the Livermore Valley.

Be sure to mark May 6th on your 2009 calendar for the festivities to start up again next year. It’s a great way to enjoy a warm, summer evening.
