COCHIN — It was a time to come together and celebrate summer at Cochin Days, held Aug. 8 to 10.
Elaine Krieger, on the executive of the Cochin Days committee, said the event went off without a hitch.
Some rain on Friday postponed the paddleboard race, which went ahead Saturday instead.
Other highlights included a kids' bike parade, boat decorating and a fireworks show.
Krieger said there were no hiccups, but the rain might have discouraged a few entries from the boat parade.
"Some of the decorations they go through are not necessarily good for a big downpour, so I'm sure we had fewer entrants than normal for that," she said.
Cochin Days first started in 1980, so it has a long tradition in the area.
"It was fun," Krieger said. "It takes a lot of work to put these on. It takes a lot of volunteers, which we're very grateful for. But seeing all the smiles and the kids having fun, and seeing the adults dancing in the beer garden, it's all worth it."
