Clarendon Day

Last Saturday was Clarendon Day.  Two of the main streets in our area were blocked off for the event.

There were all types of booths set up. One  of them was a booth for Jason Howell.  Who is  Jason Howell?  Jason Howell is the independent candidate running for Congress.  He is also my golden ticket to a photo op with a politician. I would say this guy deserves to win for this pose alone...

Finn got to see some characters.

Here he is about to jump up and down because the "dog" was playing with his toy car.

The belly dance studio had a booth, as well as  several performances on the main stage. 

 

These girls can shimmy.

We got to see a band we really enjoyed called Hoots and Hellmouth.

We watched their set while Finn napped.

We got to eat several different kinds of foods.

They had this ride for kids. Normally the idea of a ride for kids leaves me panicked with fears of body parts being ripped off and the like, but this one passed inspection.

It seemed pretty straight forward, and there was a seat belt.

He had a blast.

He wanted to ride more but since one ride cost five dollars (5 dollars?!) we distracted him with street food.
