Lexi McQuilkin of Winston-Salem, N.C., works on a "bug house" in the Home Depot kids' workshop at Lorain International Festival Saturday. Home Depot employees are volunteering their time to staff the tent. On Saturday, children had the choice of making toolboxes, heart planters, trucks, sailboats or the bug house, and each child got to keep their apron. Lexi's family said they are in town visiting family in Wakeman.
Paddle boarders, clockwise from botton, Jim Lawhead, Nicole Hageman, Dan Eifel and Ashley Frantz paddle down the French Creek Saturday afternoon as part of the Black River Kayak-a-thon. While other participants opted to enter the kayak and canoe races, this group was participating in the noncompetitive "casual float." The Kayak-a-thon is in its second year but is pairing up with International Festival for the first time. Lorain International President Nina Wooldrige praised the partnership.  “We’re celebrating the two greatest assets we have in Lorain — our water and our ethnicity," she said.

Mexican princess Breonna Stanley was at the International Festival bazaar Saturday in yet another of her many costumes. While many princesses wear the same costume for the entire festival, Breonna is trying to wear a different one for each festival event. In fact, she said this turquoise dress and headdress, which is from Mexico, was just her first of three outfit changes she had planned for the day. Most of her costumes are from Mexico, she said, while other are made by family members.
Marilyn DeJesus of Lorain raced in the Black River Kayak-a-thon Saturday morning, but her real prize was a paddleboard, which she won in a raffle for race participants. She wasted no time trying out her new toy, paddleboarding home from the International Festival grounds at Black River Landing to her home across the river at HarborWalk.
