Abstract Yesterday was Siena's fourth visit to the event, which has been held annually for 24 years. Siena said her favorite parts are "looking at jewelry" and "eating watermelon." "It started as a sidewalk sale and then it grew into what it is today," he explained. "The watermelon wasn't added until the second year. The reason for August is that it was a slow retail time, so the idea was to drum up some business." "This is my first year in the booth,' said Helm. "In previous years I'd be back at the shop waiting for the 'we need more T-shirts' phone call."
