CORNWALL — Everything happens on Pine Street in Cornwall. It may seem like the quiet part of this rural town, but when called upon for a celebration, whether a gallery opening at the library or a lively writers’ circle at Town Hall, Pine Street brings the crowds, ready with spirit and enthusiasm.
July 1 was no different, starting the month off right with the annual July Fest celebration, sponsored by Cornwall Park and Recreation.
