 Peach Blossom Festival draws large crowd in spite of cold temps web posted April 9, 2007 Below: Peach Blossom Beauty Queens  JOHNSTON – The
Johnston Jaycees Peach Blossom Festival drew a large
crowd in spite of cold temperatures and windy conditions on Saturday.
After an overnight low of around 30 degrees across the county
temperatures were still in the high 30’s as organizers began the work
of preparing for the parade and vendors set up shop for the day’s
events. By the 11am parade temperatures were just breaking into the low
40’s with 15 to 20 mile an hour winds the wind-chill dropped into the
low 30’s. The Grand Marshall, Dr. Sam Garrison, lead off the parade
just behind the Jaycees Banner.Below: Children enjoy the carnival rides  But the cold
temperatures did not lower the enthusiasm of those
participating or attending the festivities as the crowds continued to
grow throughout the day. Children enjoyed the carnival rides and
parents shopped the vendors selling their wares along Calhoun Street.Several performers also provided entertainment in front of the grand stand located at the intersection of Calhoun and Lee Streets throughout the day. The festival was a big success and the Jaycees and the Town of Johnston did a wonderful job of making the days enjoyable for families and visitors from outlying areas. For
