This post documents my experience on 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?
