Main street in St. Joseph, closed to traffic, was a swirl of activity with a riot of color, the aromas of food, live music and curb-to-curb arts and crafts Sept. 28 during the annual Millstream Arts Festival.

The warm fall weather was made-to-order for festival-going.

The event turned out to be a resounding success, attracting thousands of visitors who leisurely sauntered in the street and on the grounds of St. Joseph Catholic Church. Dozens of white tents housed vendors who offered for sale a stunning variety of art works and craft items: paintings, prints, woven baskets, pottery, jewelry, photography, glassware, wood carvings, stained glass, textiles, folk art and metal sculptures.

Arts-and-crafts exhibitors included many local artists, as well as others from as far away as Minneapolis.

On the west end of main street a dozen or so food vendors served a tantalizing array of finger foods and beverages to hungry and thirsty festival-goers.

Live entertainment included Paul Imholte on dulcimer and fiddle, the Stearns County Pachanga Society, the CSB/SJU Jazz Ensemble, Random Road and David Jones.

The Granite City Cloggers again performed at Millstream, as they have in past years.

One of the new features Sunday was “The Bookend,” a large tent wherein local authors sold their books, autographed them and chatted with readers. There were also paper-making and printing demonstrations.

Authors included Marilyn Salzl Brinkman of St. Joseph; Larry Schug of Avon; and Sartell writers Dennis Herschbach, Bill Morgan and Milissa Nelson.

Nelson, who grew up in Barrett, Minn. and in Colorado, wrote the book with a young readership in mind. It’s the story of a shy young girl having to make many stressful adjustments in life.
