Weather mostly held up for the annual Home and Garden Festival in Chestnut Hill, Sunday May 20.
Chestnut Hill business District director Philip Dawson said tricky weather forecasting, including the postponement from the original date of May 6, made things “challenging”, but he was pleased with the final result – attendance was good and the Avenue was busy.
