What a great day in Berkley...
Saturday, June 13th started off a bit gloomy but it turned into an awesome day! The weather was perfect for strolling the 8th Annual Berkley Art Bash. Several thousand people came to downtown Berkley to enjoy fabulous handmade art, entertainment by a variety of bands, delicious food, like hotdogs served from a vintage firetruck, and of lot's of extras, including sidewalk sales, Berkley firetruck tours, kids entertainment, student artists, Linda's DanceWorks dancers, and a free bike valet sponsored by the Berkley Environmental Committee. Thank you to all who joined us. We hope you had as much fun as we did and enjoyed a fun-filled day in downtown Berkley.
We would like to thank those that helped us to make this day a success. We couldn't do it without the following folks:
Our Sponsors: catching fireflies, Amici's Pizza & Living Room, Oxford Park Towers, American Laser Centers, WOW Cable, The Daily Tribune, Dynamic Chiropractor.
