THE WEATHER COULD NOT have cooperated better than it did in Falls Church last Saturday for the annual Taste of Falls Church and Fall Festival combined event in the parking lot behind City Hall. The 19 participating restaurants sold out of their food offerings as a patient public was willing to endure long lines to get to some of the most popular items. Mad Fox Brewing Company won Best Overall, Curry Mantra 2 won Best Value, and an honorable mention was given to Nourish Market. (Photos: J. Larry Golfer)
