The Block was Rockin\u2019 on Saturday, September 13th<\/sup> in Payne. Festivities started downtown with a Car Show and Craft Bazaar, and then shifted to the Payne American Legion field with inflatables and games, along with Food Vendors and information vendors. The air was filled with the sound waves of local artists, Columbia Dempsey, Rapid Fire and City Lights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
