Summer Festival

It was time for the annual summer festival on Main Street this past weekend. I took some photos to show you. The local orthodontist had a stall, I said hello to him and he remembered me from the years when son K got his braces done. The doctor is now married with a 3rd baby on the way and a thriving practice. He is now setting up his 3rd branch in another area.  I pulled up a photo of K on my phone to show the doctor and he said it is so rewarding to see the kids grow up in the ten years of his practice in the area.  He spoke of kids now driving their younger siblings to their appointments.

My friend S and I also met K's old high school math teacher watching the parade with his little daughter. I remembered sitting in a parent teacher interview with him. A local dance troupe went by and he said they are steering their daughter away from dance lessons. They feel dance schools don't set a positive message for girls, focussing on looks and slimness often leading to eating disorders and such. It is an interesting point of view. So the little girl will do tennis and golf. I actually liked the dance group, fun music and moves!
