Montpelier saw quite the gathering on Saturday, July 14, 2023. As the village participated in sales and various free-will donations, an Empire Street car show, music, and bean-tasting occurred.
Families then gathered at Founders Park for carnival-like entertainment with bounce houses, face painting, balloon animals, arts and crafts, and more.
Later on, the evening was wrapped up with a concert featuring Lady Anemoia.
Saturday’s plans were foiled by heavy rain, but officials put on a float show on Empire Street to make up for it once the sky cleared.
