The spirit of Rivers and Spires undampened by rain, cloudy skies, cool air
On the second day of Rivers and Spires persistant rain hampered the turnout somewhat. People congregated in nooks and crannies, basically anywhere a dry space could be found. While some vendors, many of the rides for children, and several stages were closed there was still plenty to see and do.
Clarksville Online was on the scene, soaked to the skin, capturing many of the day events — and the people — on camera. Here is a gallery of those shots.
