Above: The lines for Rasa (below) and Raku Sakuru across the street were each so long they extended across Main Street, passing each other.

The one-week delay did not appear to dampen appetites on Main Street Thursday evening, when many venues set up on the sidewalk to offer samples from their kitchens for the Taste of EG Stroll. With Main Street closed between London and Division streets, there was plenty of room for strollers to spread out. Thanks to the EG Chamber of Commerce for organizing, to the businesses who participated, and to the town for its help.

That’s it on the Summer 2021 Stroll Season. Until next year!
