MOUNT VERNON — Mount Vernon officially kicked off the summer season with the June First Friday.

Food, games, and ice cream were on hand — all of the necessary ingredients for a stellar birthday bash organized by Experience Mount Vernon.

A classic car cruise-in, live musical entertainment, and a Dolly Parton look-alike contest added to the festivities.
