What Glen Ellen’s annual parade lacks in length — the whole town is about two blocks long — it makes up in community spirit.
The 2019 Glen Ellen Village Fair was another spirited event, as the one and only main street was closed down for food and crafts booths, music stages, kids games and lots of small-town charm.
This year’s theme: “Small Town, Big Heart.” The Grand Marshall was Jim Shere.
Said Leslie Vaughan, one of the event’s volunteer producers, “It was as perfect of a day as we could’ve asked for!”
