Looking for something to do this week/weekend, why not come to Kennedy Park in Sharpsburg for the Guyasuta Days Festival?
I'll be the first to admit that I'm not a fair or festival person. I don't play bingo. I don't play carnival games. I don't do raffles. I don't ride carnival rides, except I did do the slide one year. I don't really eat fair food with the exception of a walking taco or cheese fries. I guess you could just say I'm cheap and boring. Dennis would say I'm cheap. Yet, I've been roped into the Guyasuta Days Festival and I enjoy it. Why you might ask?
Well, aside from the delicious walking taco made by the festival commitee and cheese fries from the fire department, I love the people watching. It relaxes me to just sit and watch from the sidelines everyone enjoying themselves. I love the camaraderie of the event - everyone coming together in a show of community - churches, civic and community organizations all working together. I love that it benefits multiple community organizations - fire department and library are just two that are important to me. I love that it also supports the future of the community by presenting a scholarship to a resident that meets the academic and community involvement standards. Those are just a few of the reasons.
So, I encourage you to stop by the Guyasuta Days Festival this week. There is something for everyone at the festival. Lots of good food, including the above mentioned fries and walking tacos but there is also chicken tenders, pierogies, funnel cakes and halushski for those of you who are fans of that (and you can probably tell how much I eat it because I can't spell it). There is a band every night. There are games and rides and bingo. Sometimes there massage people or you could buy penny candy from the library.
Check it out! It's a perfect summer evening activity!
