These young men danced at the Greek Festival this past weekend. As you can see by the legs and heels in the background, the girls were dancing in the back row. The entertainment (not to mention the beautiful weather) really added to the festival. Through music and dance, the younger generation had a chance to honor the traditions of their ancestors while learning about their heritage. The older generation felt nostalgic and proud. Nothing beats a happy, intergenerational event! From that little baby in the pink stroller to the grandpa caring for her, and everyone in between, a good time was had by all. Approximately 15,000 people attended the festival in Greensboro this weekend. That's a lot of souvlaki and baklava! Opa!
The yellow piping on the dancers' jackets is our contribution to Mellow Yellow Monday.
We're having a PARTY!

I've yet to go to a Greek festival, and this picture sure does inspire me!
