Live music was played in two locations. More people than the population of the town came out to the event. Second Part was an installation of the interviews we did with townspeople, a Laton Market replica that inside had all the Otis Graudate student interviews about being a part of the project, along with all of our Needs/Assets notes about Laton. Also in the replica were the videos that had been projected on the main street buildings.
