Troy’s Riverfest 2010
Before we begin, a very Happy Father’s Day to my Dad, my brother-in-law, my brother Jack who becomes a Dad for the first time next month, and all the other guys I know who have been setting great examples for men everywhere.

The weather was gorgeous and there was no shortage of good food, good music, or great activities for the entire family at Troy’s Riverfest yesterday.
The only drawback was the sunburn that I got on my face and arms, but other than that it was a great time. The crowd was strong from the onset, and took advantage of all the festivities provided by the city. Kudos to all that helped put on this great event, and shame on you if you missed it.
Troy Mayor Harry Tutunjian was on hand, and was kind enough to say hello and chat even though I yelled at him on Twitter one time. I’m going to take heat for this, but here goes: Harry, for our occasional political and social disagreements, is (in terms of municipal government) the best thing to happen to this city in the last twenty years.
I unfortunately had to duck out before Paula Cole performed, so I neither got to meet her or get her number. Another potential chance at a great romance lost for want of free time. Fortunately, Greg Haymes wrote up a review of the performance for the TU blogs. I do have to add to his review, though, that while the crowd may have been smaller for Paula it certainly was not for the festival as a whole. One of the things that was misleading was the scarcity at times on Monument Square, but that’s because much of the crowd was concentrated on River Street. I could be wrong, but from my personal observation it seemed attendance overall was way up from previous years.
After the jump, more pictures from the event.

How great was that sprinkler for the kids!!
That sprinkler was awesome. I thought it was very cool of them to set that up.
Thanks for sharing the Festival Photos. I thought the Pokemon Bulbasaur chalk drawing was fantastic and was going to win the childrens category.
