All parking lots were filled, and cars lined both sides of Route 80 all the way to the village line.
Among attendees were:
• Above, from left, Savanna Mayton, Richfield Springs, and Maggie Sherman and Megan Kern, both of Cooperstown, volunteers in 19th century garb.
• At right, folks were having a good time, but few were as expressive about it as Mariana Pokorny, 8 months, seen here with dad Tim.
• Inset is Bernd J. Krause of Johnson City, showing off his dulcimers. After his wife saw a dulcimer for the first time as a Dolly Parton concert 36 years ago, she wanted one, and Bernd took a book out of the local library and built her one himself. Now, his dulcimers are so sought-after Dolly Parton’s band uses one.
