This is the 3rd year
the downtown merchants
have held First Fridays
It is the 1st Friday of the month
May-Oct
When I managed the thrift store
I got to know the merchants
and when I left the theater
I wanted to stay involved
in the community
so this year I joined the 1st Fridays
committee
The city had their booths...
One of the local youth groups
(I also volunteer with fundraising with them)
kids and robots run the carnival games
for kids
Also the kids could draw on the side walk
Face painting
There were all kinds of vendors
Avon
Scentsy
local crafters
Charies and service organizations
The Sonic Hot Dog
There was entertainment
This was a player
that read cards with holes in it
Jazz
Street Musicians
Log cutting
Food
Indian Food
Lemonade/Funnel cakes
Dans Deli
Maggie Moos Ice Cream
Italian Ices
There was a Cruise In
because the weather was iffy
not as many showed
and My hsb....
See he will wear his kilt
everywhere he goes
until $1000
is donated to the kids and robots
The initial reports
I got from the vendor
and the things I over heard
were all good
Oh my goodness! Our former home town of Marion, IN did this same thing! Right around the court house and EVERYTHING!
ReplyDeleteI don't think ours went into October though.
