(TOP LEFT) Dozens of antique cars made their way down Main Street during Saturday afternoon’s parade. The annual event spon- sored by the Littleton Lions brought cars of countless shapes and colors to town during the 45th Annual Art Festival.

(TOP RIGHT) Kristine Lane was polishing one of her artistic cre- ations at the League of NH Craftsmen gallery on Saturday. A co-cre- ator of the League’s annual ornament, Lane, of Andover, worked on “Whispers of Spring” with Hanover’s Paulette Werger. Using actual paper birch leaves as models, the duo crafted the pewter ornament, which is now on sale at the League’s galleries on Mill Street in Littleton and around the state. Lane called “Whispers of Spring” a “tribute to the state tree.”

(BOTTOM LEFT) Brittany Sulham, 2014 Miss Littleton Area, took a ride in one of the late Ray Burton’s classic cars at the front of the parade on Saturday afternoon.

(BOTTOM RIGHT) All Saints’ Episcopal Church held their 24th Annual Pie Festival as part of the town’s art festival on Saturday. Tasty cheesecake and peanut butter chocolate pie, just two of the many choices during the day, are pictured here. The day also offered people a chance to learn of pie trivia, thanks to a document available at each table. “If you love chocolate pie,” according to the document, “you are likely to describe yourself as loving.” Pumpkin pie fans are “funny and independent.”
