Blues for Food

This past weekend Blues for Food took over Durham Street for a day of great entertainment and activities. I was really excited to go to this event because I have never been before. They were calling for thunderstorms on Saturday, so I wasn't sure if I was going to make it out. But, by about noon the sun was still shining, no sign of any rain, so I decided to head to the event (it didn't rain all day which was excellent). When I got there it was PACKED with people having a great time- listening to the live music, watching the dance performances, and enjoying all the different activities. When I first arrived, I stopped to watch the dancers perform- they were really good! I moved along down Durham Street to find a live band playing. The entertainment was amazing! They had a whole section that was specifically for children's activities- all the children looked like they were having an amazing time as well. I didn't have any cash on me, but I really wish I would have...they had beaver tails, fresh lemonade, kettle corn- YUM!... so much food...and it really looked delicious!
Getting into Blues for Food was easy, all you had to do was bring in a canned good or make a donation, which went to the Sudbury Food Bank.
It was a beautiful day at the Blues for Food and I can't wait to go back next year!
