“Occoquan Riverfest and Arts Show”
A sunny blue sky and a slight breeze sent many people outdoors to celebrate the ongoing “Occoquan Riverfest and Arts Show” along the beautiful Occoquan River. The Friends of the Occoquan (FOTO’s) recyclable arts booth was at the Occoquan Regional Park, where children created fish, turtles, or birds from old CDs. Boats, kayaks, and a few yachts were in the water while anglers were trying to catch fish and a quinceañera party was celebrated at the River View Venue.
