Great weather brought out a big crowd to the 4th Annual Centralia Summer Market this weekend.

Mimi Hawkins enjoyed all the kids smiles as they were able to take part in a new of free activities for children including bounce houses, face painting, and shell painting.

For the adults, there were 53 vendors with a variety of wares as well as food trucks.

For those wanting music, Hank Jourdan played for two hours in front of the Illinois Theatre building.

Hawkins estimated the crowd in the three-block downtown area as about the same as last year when a large crowd was also in attendance.
