Riverfest 2005
Saturday, September 10
You see, back in the day when I was younger there were a few little celebrations the city observed. But a few years ago the powers-to-be crammed them together into what they referred to as Riverfest. And so over the weekend, the quaint little town of Leavenworth celebrated Riverfest, and like every year I decided to see what the big deal was.
Wow. Do people just don't care anymore or what? Driving downtown I park around the block where last years Fest had started. Not realizing that around said corner, the vendors were not there. Nor in the next block. Two whole city blocks void of church flyers, expensive hot dogs, and crappy hand made jewelry. Rest assured, I found all of those things after walking two blocks. But I was left with the feeling that nobody cared to even show up to this event. And if I remember right I think it rained last year too. Beside the point.
I ate my hot dog. Saw the wonderful Leavenworth fire truck. Oooh. Walked by a few vendors, including the Leavenworth Public Library? And yes, was handed a flyer for some church, thingy. Whatever that was.
Later around 9:00 that night, I hear a "boom" outside my house. My girlfriend and I walk out to my backyard to discover that both, living next to the river and being so close to downtown, we have a wonderful view of a firework display across the river. So grabbed my camera. Enjoy!
