It was a beautiful sun-kissed day in the heart of the Auburn-Gresham community, and with over 100 organizations represented at the festival, there was something for everyone.<br /><br />Face painted youth rode ponies, bounced in inflatable moonwalks, and participated in fast-paced drills ran by In the Paint Basketball Clinic.

The day was a celebration of the community, full of smiles and laughter.</span></strong></div><div></div><div><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#006600;"></span></strong></div><div></div><div></div><div><strong><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#006600;"><br /><a href="http://www.gagdc.org/">Greater Auburn-Gresham Development Corporation (GADC)</a> staffers have already spent months planning for this summer’s 79th Street Renaissance Festival.
