Back in November I went downtown to check out the Victorian Christmas Festival on 6th Street. I took some photos there and also walked around downtown.

The festival:
These were actually taken on November 26th at the 12th annual Victorian Christmas Festival on 6th Street. I wanted to post them sooner, but I hadn't gotten around to them, then the forum meet came up, so I put it off for a while. This is actually the 2nd largest festival in downtown drawing over 125,000 people to the two day event. I thought I'd go check it out, (for the first time), and try my hand at people pictures.
