Fifth Street Community Fun Day offers festivities, food - and fun

Jasmine Kelliehan, CEO of A Perfect Gift, was an event organizer. 

The Fifth Street Community Fun Day on Saturday drew several dozen visitors, despite the sweltering weather. The event featured a variety of attractions, including a yard sale, games, health screenings, free food, a clothes giveaway, a bounce house, live music, a garden tour, and even a tattoo artist. To accommodate the festivities, two blocks of Fifth Street were temporarily closed.
