If you wanted a smaller, more intimate version of the State Fair, the Cooke Street Carnival worked its magic Saturday afternoon. Residents in one block of Cooke Street near downtown Raleigh, continued their annual tradition of closing off the street for a festival with food, music, crafts, drinks and more.
And for those feeling at odds with the world or the gray weather, there was the advice booth where young women, all with brightly colored hair, were offering advice for $1 to $3.
