The Fire Guy, Brant Matthews, performs for a large crowd in downtown Alliston Friday night following the Alliston Rotary Club's Potato Festival Parade. Despite some unsettled conditions earlier in the day, the weather wound up being perfect for the parade. The following day however, many events were cancelled as the rain settled in for the day.
