Thousands of people made their way to Elmwood Park for the two weekend event which ended yesterday.
This is the first Festival to take place without long-time director Wendi Schultz.
Stu Israel replaced her in September and says the job so far has had its up and downs.

Water service was shut down for parts of Northwest Roanoke yesterday.
A problem at the Delray pumping station led to no or discolored water for most of the day throughout the city.
A city spokesperson says workers have located and fixed the problem.
No word on how many people were affected but the city says the number was significant.

Roanoke City's public pools are ready to splash into the summer despite city water concerns...
(------------)
[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=03-Roanoke]
The city filled the pools much earlier this year because of partial water restrictions in Roanoke.
Once Carvin's Cove hits 26 feet below the spillway, full mandatory water restrictions will go into effect.
That will mean city residents will not be allowed to fill their outdoor pools.
However, the city's pools will remain open.

The Fallon Park pool will be closed on Tuesdays and Washington Park Pool will close on Wednesdays.

These Yellow-Crown Night-Herons have been living in the back yard of a Roanoke family's home for about four years now.
The birds are federally protected, but became homeless when the tree that housed their nests was uprooted during Saturday's storm.
About a dozen nests were crushed when the tree fell, killing at least ten of the birds, but a few fledglings were rescued.

It's been nearly six months since the Grandin Theater closed its doors.
A lot has been in the works to re-open the movie house- the landmark's been purchased by a group that plans to remodel and give the theater a second showing.

They'll be replaced with new seats that are wider and have more leg room.
New projectors and a digital sound system will also be installed.
Workers will also restore the gargoyles in the main theater and then add lighting so you can actually see them during the movie.

But all this work costs money.
