The Friends of RIA (FoRIA) inaugural Fall Fest seemed to have been a smashing success. The Fest was crowded and residents were abundant. We even were treated to a nice dance demonstration from a local RIA dance/karate studio. Here are some quotes from people who attended the event:
Kudos to everyone for such a great event!
I am so excited about the future of Rhode Island Ave! Great job everyone!
It was so cool to see so many people out on the Avenue and kind of imagine a time where it could look like that all the time!
Awesome job everyone and awesome turnout!
For being the main planner for this event, Joan Shipps deserves a HUGE thank you! If you missed the event, don’t worry. I am told that next year’s will be bigger and even better! Special thanks also goes out to the numerous local RIA businesses that had booths at the event!
Here are some photos from the event:
