Gloria Orcutt made these paintings, which she offered for sale.

Boomfest attendees could see this display of Boomtown fireworks photos for sale.

Juggler Doug Sayers entertained the audience.

The 2nd Annual Boom-Fest Arts & Crafts Show went fantastic! We welcomed over 50 vendors to the downtown streets of Vinton along with food vendors and fun activities for the kids.

World Class Juggler Doug Sayers joined us from 1pm – 5pm and put on quite a show with the kids. He juggled everything from balls to fire and it was a huge draw.

There was a bit of fun for everyone from the inflatables for the kids to the live entertainment from the band New Trick. Brian Parr created three live chainsaw carvings which were later auctioned off at the fairgrounds during a silent auction. All of these fun and family-friendly activities were a great prequel to the incredible fireworks that took place that evening. Thanks to everyone who made this day a huge success!
