You could have been forgiven for assuming that Saturday’s fun in downtown Overland Park came under the guise of a “Summer Festival.” With temperatures in the 80s by the time the parade route had filled with spectators, it was a hot one for sure. But that didn’t stop thousands of northeast Johnson County residents from taking in the fun of the city’s annual Fall Festival.
