Double Decker Weekend
The 17th annual Double Decker Arts Festival was held over the past weekend here in Oxford. The festival is a two-day long event that is family friendly and enjoyable for all ages.
The festival was free on Saturday from 10am-8pm. The day was complete with art presentations, vendors selling various items, lots and lots of food.
One of the main attractions of the festival was the Picnic Area, which is an auction of painted wooden picnic tables by various talented artists. All of the benefits of the auction were donated to the Boys and Girls Club of Oxford.
"I think it's great how they donate the funds to the Boys and Girls Club of Oxford," stated Destiney Fucich, freshman at Ole Miss, after learning where the benefits go, "it's always good to hear about people going out of their way to help out such a great organization."
The festival also hosted a Spring Run, which is a highly competative 6.2 mile race through Oxford, passing through many landmarks of Oxford, such as the Ole Miss campus, the William Faulkner home, and Rowan Oak.
