Live music, food, games, a bouncy castle, dance performances and a handful of other neat things were going on over the course of the day. The Green Street Challenge was a hit as well, and the sod that covered a large portion of Main Street will be donated to Habitat for Humanity.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, it was a great day but here&#8217;s hoping next year&#8217;s event at least brings sunshine!<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 33%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-36211 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-gallery-block'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2017\/08\/sidewalksale_kidsplay.gif'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"214\" height=\"140\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2017\/08\/sidewalksale_kidsplay-214x140.gif\" class=\"attachment-gallery-block size-gallery-block\" alt=\"Lily Conway and her brother Odin had a blast playing soccer together on the sod that was laid down on Main Street.
