SAINT JOHNS COUNTY – Even the Grinch had a good time at the 61st annual Cracker Day Celebration at the St. Johns Fairgrounds Saturday, Oct. 17.

The Farmers Market, a new addition this year, featured everything from fresh bread to jewelry to horse photographs. St. Johns County Cattlemen’s Association sponsored the event.

Dozens of riders turned out for the barrel racing contests.

As Mary Ellen Masters observed:: When was the last time you saw this many people at Cracker Day?
