| Do you have a local street festival or carnival in your town? | | We have several through out the year, and so do many of the neighbouring towns and they are all very good! It is such a great ay out for the kids (and me!).Today we went to an art festival that included fire eaters, jugglers, several good bands, magicians, stalls with food, crafts, and various oddities. It was a great crowd with a really nice atmosphere. The best part were these enormous sand sculptures that are being built all week and will be finished for viewing on Monday. Brag about your town, do you have one? Does it have a specialty? Do you like going or do you thing it causes to much commotion? | |
| | What tree do you find beautiful | | Spring is a beautiful time of year with all the flowers blooming and tree's budding.My favortie tree is either the dogwood tree or the weeping willow.They both are beautiful in theri own way.I think the weeping willow is a romantic type of tree.Thanks fro any thoughts.... | |
| | What kind of festivals do you have where you live? | | Where I live we are having a Crawfish Festival this weekend. There will be music, dancing, arts, crafts, a parade and tons and tons of food. Literally tons. At least four tons of crawfish alone, not to mention the chicken and pork and beef that will be consumed. Kids will have games to play and there will be vendors in the area and people selling their own crafts. With this festival it made me wonder what other festivals people had around the world. How often. This one is once a year. There are other towns nearby that have a Catfish Festival, a Shrimp Festival. A town I lived in when I was younger had a Dogwood Festival in which the people celebrated the blooming of the dogwood trees. Basically, they are all the same, with parades, music, food and fun, just the names are different. What about where you live? Do you have a festival in your town? Do you participate in it? Do you avoid it? I am just curious what kind of celebrations we have around the world on the small town level. We all know about the really big ones, but what about you where you live? | |
