The day's winners, of course, included the many residents who enjoyed the events, from Kid Zone, to a JC's Closet Fashion  Show, to Maria Priadka Dancers, and much, much more. Community groups showed their stuff; merchants sold their wares; and music played all day long.

Thanks to the volunteers who labored all year and all day to make CSO happen, the best one yet!
