Rose Park Festival

I'm a few weeks late on this. April 26th we held the fourth annual Rose Park Community Festival. It was a great success with an estimated 3,000 people moving in and out. The weather was sunny but a little too windy with a bit of a chill but still enjoyable. Entertainment was good, the belly dancers looked a little cold and the last singer was more then out of key.

The food this year wasn't as good as last year, only two choices this year three less from last, some incredible Thai food that was there last year and hopefully in the years to come along with hot dogs and hamburgers from Diamond Lils.

There was cotton candy and snow cones provided by the Southern Baptist. Around 20 or so non-profits providing information material. A couple of people selling stuff and a couple companies trying to find employees. T and Jen didn't sell any tutus but Marcee did sell a few hair barrettes.

Plenty of fun for the kids with crafts and games and a dunking booth. City Councilman Luke Garrett volunteered to be dunked and was more then once. The car show was a little less than steller with two hot rods but the motorcycle patrol showed off their sweet rides.

I was too busy with other things to take pictures but there are plenty on the Rose Park Festival website.
