With a diverse array of attractions ranging from Harlem Globetrotter Michael Douglas' basketball exhibitions for kids to all-day music that Katie and Cody Ertley enjoyed dancing to, the 2nd annual Market Days Street Festival brought several hundred visitors to Court Street in downtown Washington Saturday. In addition to signing autographs, playing games with festival goers, and awarding prizes, the former Harlem Globetrotter conducted a special half-hour basketball demonstration. The musical line-up for the festival included four Athens-based music groups, The Corduroy Road, The Brothers Marler, The Revival, and The StickEm Ups, said Bradley Barber, event coordinator, along with a performance by The Mason Jars from Evans.
