Old-fashioned fun abounded at Richmond Days, which took place Friday and Saturday at Fort Richmond Waterfront Park.

It’s not every day you get to race across a row of bobbing lobster crates, or watch your young’uns participate in a firemen’s muster. Add a parade and bagpipes, and you’re talking a serious good time.
