Strasburg Home Town Days (2016) – Part 2

August 13, 2016 by Alan Leave a Comment

Colorado Vintage BaseballHi everyone, I’m back! 🙂

We did end up doing a little yard sale shopping…although it was kind of late in the day for it. That was followed by the Chili Contest (sponsored by 4 Rivers Equipment) and an entertaining High Plains Music Ensemble concert (sponsored by Strasburg Veterinary Clinic and IREA). Michelle and Augie taste-tested the six entries and made their votes as I Facebook Live broadcasted most of the concert, which you can watch here:

We didn’t stop there…heading over to watch some Colorado Vintage Baseball (sponsored by the Friends of Strasburg Metro Parks and Rec):

We left after I started getting eaten alive. 🙂

Finally…unrelated…we snuck over to McDonald’s in Bennett for dinner…and when it wrapped up we saw some amazing colors and clouds…not to mention sunflowers!:

Not only that, but a burst shot with my iPhone proved that Augie (of Augie.News & Weather fame) saw lightning to the north!:

Between this and Part 1, you pretty much know what my day has included. Well, other than the cookie dough ice cream I am about to go eat. 🙂

(Oh, if you go to Part 1 it has the gallery with a bunch of photos from today, and that gallery has been updated with additional snapshots from tonight.)

Hope you are having awesome weekends. We are…because…you know…Strasburg Rocks!

P.S. In case you are interested…if you visit this on Facebook you should be able to look at a panorama of those sunflowers via 360 functionality:

(Friend me while you are there. :-))

The original Facebook Live videos of the concert and baseball game are available here:
