35.) Streetsboro Family Days Review – July 31, 2011

.

Now that we’re experiencing full summer, it seems city festivals are popping up all over this fine state…

…including the city of Streetsboro.

Streetsboro Family Days is a free medium-sized festival for the city and area communities and it offers a lot…

…with rides…

…games…

…entertainment…

…beer…

…fair food…

…and a great bike/car show.

But, for me, after having been to so many, it was more interesting seeing the not-so-typical things that Family Days had available…
.

…like cooking demonstrations…

…and even Chrysler test-drives.

(They offered a free lunch and a chance to win $45k in store credit.)

It was Family Days’ variety and reflection of the community that made the festival most interesting…
…whether by expressing its tea party-ish-ness…
.

…or by spreading awareness in order to help POW’s/MIA’s and American Veterans (Rolling Thunder).

In fact, the community was represented in many ways…
.

…from nightclubs and area ghost hunters…

…to school band boosters and area churches.

There was even a vendor offering 20 pounds of pork products…

…to those who guessed the weight of this pig in the cooler.

I was thinking 45 lbs.

Think I could have won?
