Deanna Germano, Chef/Foodpreneur
Chef Deanna said this was her first time occupying the space just outside the Overpass Fest. Despite the distance from the event, which was maybe 500 feet or more, we give her kudos for making a nearly flawless jalapeno lemonade (a little bit savory and little bit sweet). In our opinion, she was a few sample cups away from selling out and or having her concoction become the official summer beverage of the Creekwalk.

Mothers Against Gun Violence reminds us each year during their vigil in Clinton Square that violence impacts all of us. The organization held an event this evening, and names of victims of gun violence over the past decade were read aloud.
