The Black Patch Festival is quickly approaching this weekend and the Princeton Optimist Club is busy finalizing plans for the annual celebration.

Tuesday night club members and youth helpers took to Main Street to mark off spaces for the booths for the street festival to be held on Saturday. The club has over 100 places reserved for food, crafts, information and various items for sale or to give away.

Optimist Club President Jean Ann Albertson shared information for anyone who has a booth space reserved for Saturday.
