This Sunday is not only Fathers Day, it is also Summer Solstice Day at the Greensboro Arboretum (at Market Street near Lindley Park). While the Summer Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere officially begins on June 21st at 1:16 pm EDT, all of Greensboro comes out to celebrate on Sunday the 19th when families and venders are more able to get away from their weekday work commitments. We're slipping in this photo from last year just to generate a little excitement and to start planning our attire. It will be hard to beat last year's "best of show."
Don your floral headband, brightest tie dye, fairy wings, glitter, face paint, diaphanous skirts with leggings and spend the afternoon among performers and vendors. There will be people strolling in costume as well as children with their faces painted and pets all gussied up. You will have more fun if you dress for the event. There will be performers of all genres and the grande finale will be a fire show at 9:00 pm. Our community puts a lot of time and effort into this event. Please come out and support our community on the longest day of the year.
What is unique about this photo?
Well....we see four right hands (including the one in the tapestry) and no left hands.
You've convinced us that this will be lots of fun.
The photo is fun too.
Happy summer to you and all.
