A Year in Piedmont: Highlights of 2012 in Photos

Many of the things that make Piedmont a wonderful place to live are local traditions — events that residents look forward to each year. 2012 had plenty of those, along with some unanticipated moments. Many of these were captured in photos by frequent Piedmont Patch contributor Julie Reichle; others were submitted by readers. A big thank you to everyone who contributed photos.
