The streets of downtown Slippery Rock were alive with sounds of VillageFest Sept. 16 as thousands of people from across the county made their way to the annual event. Attendees enjoyed a variety of vendors, live entertainment, children's games, community booths and plenty of great carnival food. Many Slippery Rock University students and their families, participating in the annual Friends and Family weekend event at the University, joined the fun as well.
