The Swan Festival was an opportunity for many local Wareham business to offer their wares and services.  Home Depot was particularly enthusiastic! BY PATRICK LESTER

Downtown Wareham's 14th Annual Swan Festival drew scores of people to Merchant's Way on Saturday. A morning rain shower dampened things for a short time, but the sun was shining in the afternoon and Merchants Way was hopping.

There were both big and littler train rides, live music, dance and puppet performances, and booths stretched from behind the fire station all the way to behind Cumberland Farms and were filled with vendors selling food, jewelry, and advertising services.

Organizer Jackie Lindsay said that the event had really come together, and was relieved that the turnout was so good...and that the weather held!
