I’m no fan of the “Festival” circuit. Every little town comes up with an excuse to close a street or two. The same vendors show up for most of them, selling the same things--all unrelated to the “festival” at hand. I suppose that’s a condition brought on by newspaper work. I had to cover them all instead of just having a good excuse to take myself uptown.
That said, I usually make a visit to Washington’s Summer Festival. By accident, Kitty and I were married during the first Summer Festival here 30 years ago.
I was still pretty lame during the festival this year, so I didn’t see much of it, still, I enjoy getting down there to see friends and fun. The Dock Dogs contest was good entertainment.
