What a difference a week makes.
Last Saturday was rainy. The Slice of Saugatuck was postponed.
Yesterday’s late-summer weather was perfect. The sun shone, the air was warm, and a couple of thousand folks ate, drank, danced and ate some more, up and down Riverside and Saugatuck Avenues, and around Railroad Place.
The annual Westport Weston Chamber of Commerce party has become an unofficial kickoff to fall. It’s also a fundraiser: A portion of the proceeds goes to Homes with Hope’s food pantry.
And what better way to celebrate it than by strolling (with or without strollers), enjoying a few dozen restaurants, shops and booths, in one of Westport’s oldest — and coolest — neighborhoods.
Our excellent “06880” photographer Quinn Fitts — a Staples High School junior — was at the Slice, to capture it all.
Like everyone else, she ate it up.
