The Mane Event - 2009 Remembered


Here's what I wrote last year about the Mane Event - You can tell the weather was a lot cooler then than it is this year.

Another year gone by and here I am again at the Mane Event, the big block party in Arlington Heights the night before the Arlington Million. We sat on a ledge in back of the stage and could definitely hear the band.

In honor of the event, I wore my Arlington Race Track cap and an Arlington Million tee shirt under my jacket. It was a little chilly for August, but the weather has been strange lately.

The DH and I had a great time singing along with the music, even dancing some. On my menu was a pulled pork sandwich, a slice of cheese pizza, pop and a huge chocolate chip cookie.

What kind of doings are in your neighborhood lately?

PS - We'll see what's on my 2010 menu.

    Our town does a downtown jam twice a month, but the people that go are scary...

  3. Last weekend was the Italian Festival (La settimana italiana)in Littel Italy, Montreal and I volunteered to sell books for a publishing house ;) Met lots of authors, poets, and interesting people. And of course, FOOD! great Italian red wine and dessert, yum!
    In the summer we have lots of festivals and events. ;)
    P.S. love your short & to-the-point posts (Mine are not that short).
