Pictures from this weekend

Here are a few pictures from around Salem this weekend (before the rain arrived...)  More than 8,000 people walked through the doors of the Salem Regional Visitor Center on Saturday.  Those of you who walked down the Essex Street Pedestrian Mall found this delightful street performer in front of The Trolley Depot... 

 

The Carnival opened on Derby Street yesterday.  Come ride on the Ferris Wheel and the Carousel!

The Today Show's Sara Haines was in town on Saturday. Here she is at the HalloWharf Pumpkin Festival, where she was the judge of the best decorated pumpkins in various age groups.

These lovely ladies were celebrating a Bachelorette Party. I ran into them outside of Rouge, and then again at Rockafellas.  I hope the wedding is as much fun as the bachelorette party!

 

And here is the pedestrian mall today... in the rain.  Thanks to all of the visitors who toughed it out, put on their ponchos, and enjoyed Salem despite the weather!  It was a dreary day, but the museums and attractions were dry and welcoming.
