East Helenans braved the heat to enjoy outdoor summer fun over the extended weekend, turning out in droves for a Food Truck Festival, a thrilling kids’ rodeo, and a parade down Main Street.
The July 10 Food Truck Fest, which occurs the second Thursday of every summer month and is sponsored by Joe Mitchell State Farm, kicked off at 4 p.m. and featured nearly a dozen food trucks, plus local craft beer, live music, and a bouncy house.
The scent of grilled meats and spices mixed with a strong smell of gasoline as attendees strolled, munched, and chatted. Visitors stopped to enjoy pierogis, steak tortas, pulled pork potatoes, and the lively tunes of Elliston folk duo Madrona.
