The community comes out Saturday for the annual sweet celebration.
A sweet smell wafted through the air both inside and out Saturday at the Fern Hollow Nature Center in Sewickley Heights.

April Claus, nature center naturalist, said she was excited about this year's turnout.

Children also played in a nearby field, testing the kites they crafted. The Sewickley Heights History Center was open to visitors as well.
