Good time at the SummerFest in Harrisburg, NC. Held on the grounds of the town hall, Harrisburg is one of the bedroom communities of Charlotte, NC. The town hall area is pretty interesting; around is government offices (as seen in the photo at left) apartments, and a number of businesses such as restaurants, child care, grocery stores, coffee shops, bars, medical offices, etc. Those are getting pretty common in the region, and have proven to be interesting places to live, and to visit as well. The band that played yesterday was pretty good; enjoyed them a great deal. Was a good crowd on hand though many were wandering around the booths on the site, and seeking what shade there was on a hot and humid Carolina June day.
Course as with any event, there was a car show. I think that in Carolina, most events are an excuse to show off the cars that people have restored. That said, they do have some remarkable restorations and some amazing cars from the past have been known to come back to life. Due to the fact that winters tend to be mild, and the use of salt on the roads is light (along with snowfalls as a rule) you don't see the damage from that on many of the cars here. There may also be the fact that there are some really good mechanics in this area, and when you combine all that, you get some pretty good rides to check out at these events.
This is a view of some of the booths that were there,also games for the kids, and you can also see some of the apartments I mentioned in the earlier paragraph. My wife Patty was working one of the booths, so I came out to be with her, but had a really good time. Events such as these are common in the area, and tend to be a pretty good time. Other than the heat and humidity, it was a really good day for it, at least the rains held off, and made for a nice day out in Harrisburg, NC.
