The 10th Summerfest brightens the skies over Stonehouse Park

Ride at sunet

As the sun set Friday at Stonehouse Park, it was clear Summerfest had once again worked its magic. Hundreds turned out for the 10th celebration and enjoyed carnival rides and carnival treats like funnel cakes and snow cones. The carnival continues Saturday at noon, and a fireworks display takes place at 9:30 p.m. at the park. Here's the full schedule of events.

Little driver

There was plenty to keep young carnival goers on the go. The big kids get their own car show Saturday.

Zipper

Favorite rides like the Zipper were welcomed back along with the roller coaster and ferris wheel.

Bumper cars

You can’t start preparing for Jackson Road driving too early.

A winner

Eighteen-month-old Holly Primicerio liked the boats as much as the prizes at this midway game.

Midway

If you were a little older, you wanted to test your skills and win a prize.

Balloon

The tethered hot air balloon, new this year, returns Saturday evening. The opportunity to bob above the crowd costs $5.  Yes, it's the same balloon company that has been seen floating over the community in recent days.

Remember the FIRST Summerfest?

You attended this year's Summerfest, the 10th, but were you at the first?  Here's a look back, compliments of the RM.com archives.  (And don't mind that the page looks primitive.  Hey, it was nine years ago -- we all looked different then.)
