Decatur Square was ablaze on Thursday night as close to 750 people came out for the city’s annual marshmallow roast. People gathered around the large bonfire, sticks in hand, ready to enjoy the evening of food, fire, fun and music. They sang Christmas at the gazebo to put people in a wintery kind of mood.
