A few days before School started for the kids, Erie had a city celebration. They close off one of the main streets in town for 4 days and had all kinds of booths, shows, food, etc for the public to enjoy. I took the kids the last day and we had a blast. We spent four hours walking the streets. There were so many great things for the kids to experience. They made noodle necklaces, played educational games, jumped in bouncy houses, played Connect 4 and Jenga with HUGE game boards and pieces. They dressed up and had their pictures taken. Joce was a cowgirl, Elizabeth was an artist, and Ethen was a construction worker. We saw amazing sidewalk chalk art. The one below was my favorite by far. Way cool! Working robots walking the streets, sports mascots, and several stages featuring hometown bands, dancers, magicians, and other neat talents and shows. We had fun watching the magician, ballet dancers, and Indian tradition dancing.
The one thing that I really enjoy about this city is the rich diversity. The are many new things to experience with all the different ethnicity. Especially food, dancing, and dress!
If we are still here next summer, we will go again for sure.
