This post documents my experience on July 14, 2013.
When I arrived at the Brook Park Community Days Celebration…
…it looked like many other town festivals.
There were a fair share of rides…
…and a large area with standard festival food…
…including some local ice cream…
…and a meatball kitchen booth…
…that had American-friendly spelling for Eye-talian words.
Vendor booths were spread out here…
…there…
…and everywhere…
…and they were made up of athletic boosters, insurance companies, an animal shelter…
…local churches (with freezer pops! – Abram Creek)…
…and local organizations (Brook Park Community Emergency Response Team).
There were also a beer garden area…
…a place to give blood, hopefully before the beer (Blood Vessel)…
…and an interesting way to gamble with the local firefighters via a game of dice.
Now that would have been fun!
