On Sept. 2, Cold Spring celebrated its annual Community Day on Main Street. For the second year in a row, Christopher Walker of Garrison won the pie-baking contest (Orla Peters was the runner-up) judged by Zanne Stewart, Joe Dizney and Claudio Marzollo. One toddler, having had enough, was spotted playing with his toy truck, oblivious of the crowds. Craig Roffman gamely volunteered for the dunk tank, and at least four youthful entrepreneurs set up lemonade stands.
