Second Saturday and Super Sunday

Media was a buzz of activity this weekend. We began the weekend (after Saturday chores and stuff) with dinner at Quotations Restaurant on State Street in Media. Saturday was Second Saturday so after dinner we strolled State Street visiting the shops that stay open. This month the highlight of Second Saturday was Appalachain Clogging featuring the Fiddlekicks. Dave commented that he thought we were back at Kutztown watching the Hhedown. There were differences though. First, these woman were not all related to the fiddle player (I kid you not. In Kutztown he introduced every participant by name and his relationships to them.) The Fiddlekicks performance was entertaining. The children watching were especially into it. But of course, I forgot the camera so you will have to take my word for it.


Sunday was Super Sunday in Media. The FALL Super Sunday that is. There is a second one in the Spring. State Street is closed to car traffic and open to food and craft booths from the neighborhood and beyond. Yes you can get a deal on packages of tube socks! You can also find clothing, artwork, tools, nick nacks, and the list goes on. You'll just have to come out one time and see for yourself. Dave's Lions Club sells hotdogs at Super Sunday so we spent the day selling hot dogs and cold drinks. The club is also raffling a 42" Plasma TV for $1 a ticket. I'm not sure how those sales went but the hot dogs as always were a hit. And most people can't wait for October food festival on State Street when the club sells crab cake sandwhiches. All proceeds go to their donation fund which is distributed in June of each year. It was a sunny day. A bit humid but not enough to keep people away. The crowd slowed somewhat after 1 PM when the Eagles game started but there was a steady flow of people through 4 PM.


Back to the work week now. Hope you all have a great one!
