The third annual Red Bank Community Block Party attracted over 500 present and former  residents to Drs. James Parker Boulevard  Saturday. Music, handicrafts, food, children’s rides and information booths greeted the all-ages crowd.

“I think we were actually closer to a thousand,” said party committee president Eddie Russell. Attendees came from Virginia, the Carolinas, Maryland and as far away as California, as well as nearby towns. (Photos by Sarah Klepner. Click to enlarge)
