Curtis "Li'l Bautista" Hopkins helps Mayor Rick Bonnette, Councillor Jon Hurst, Acton BIA manager Josey Bonnette, Councillor Moya Johnson and Councillor Clark Somerville cut the anniversary cake. People came from far and wide to go "Back to Acton Days" on August 7 during the 20th annual Leathertown Festival in Acton. Grey, drizzly weather gave way to sunny skies just in time for the festival's official kickoff: a good ol' fashioned Calithumpian parade, which featured people in crazy costumes marching through the streets while banging together pots and pans. The festival, which shut down Mill Street East for most of the day, included lots of live music, vendors, games, demonstrations and activities for people of all ages. Happy anniversary, Leathertown Festival! Photos by Andrea Lefebvre The Stylamanders (a.k.a. Mark Kersey and Paul Gibson) get the crowd on their feet at the Kids Action Centre.
