There were plenty of flowers for the picking at the annual Mustard Walk

Saratoga's sixth annual Mustard Walk was once again set against a backdrop of blue skies and bright yellow mustard flowers in full bloom blanketing the Heritage Orchard.

Nearly 2,000 people turned out for event that took place in the city's historic orchard on Feb. 4--slightly more than in years past. From face painting and a petting zoo for the kids to mustard and wine tasting for the adults, this year's Mustard Walk had a little something for everyone to enjoy.

"With each year it has grown," event coordinator Nancy Anderson said. "But this year it really grew and was a real family event. It looks like this is something that Saratoga will keep having."
