Then there was Downtown Day sponsored by the Downtown Development Authority. People came to shop at open stores, enjoy food trucks, and let kids play on inflatables. There was also a touch a truck event near the Cochran Fire Station where kids could explore not only firetrucks but other types of machinery also.
