I am happy to report that there is once again a Memorial Day Weekend Festival on Old South Gaylord Street here in South Denver. Old South Gaylord, located just a few blocks east of Washington Park, consists of a street of restaurants and locally owned shops that has been a popular gathering spot for the neighbors for years. For as long as I can remember, they have had a Memorial Day event, but eliminated it a couple of years ago for budgetary reasons. But now it is back with a new name: Kickoff to Summer. Despite the name change, it seems to be the same old festival, thank you very much, which is all right with me.
I took the photographs above and to the right Monday afternoon before I headed up to Fort Collins for a barbecue with my sister Susan and brother-in-law George. A tremendous downpour took place about an hour before, and the weather still seemed a bit threatening, which I imagine is why attendance was a bit low. Hopefully they attracted good-sized crowds Saturday and Sunday and the festival will be back next year. Perhaps if they offered nickel beer - I know I would certainly attend.
