Taste of the Town, Street Dance, and Summerfest

One of our favorite annual events takes place at the beginning of August in Bountiful. This year, Wednesday, August 4, was Taste of the Town and the street dance. Ryan and I have been going with Kristin & Abby every year, but Rara also went with us this year. We were able to sample food from some of our local favorites like the Mandarin and Sego Lily Café, and also enjoyed trying food from some new places like Moxie Café.

As it happens every year, there was a downpour for a few minutes. We ran under the eaves of a nearby building (and watched a small fire in one of the restaurant’s trailers). Then as quickly as it came, the rain left, leaving a beautiful rainbow over the Bountiful Tabernacle.We stayed at the street dance for a while. We enjoyed the Korean drummers – all young kids!That Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, Summerfest was held at the Bountiful Park. Again, as our annual tradition, we went with Kristin & Abby. Kristin & I had just gotten dinner for Ryan & Abby, got them seated, and had headed to booths to decide what we wanted, when there was another downpour. The kids ran from their table and came to find us. The four of us stood under the entrance tent for a few minutes, while dozens of people ran to their cars and left!

About this time, Rara & Papa were coming. We met up with them as the rain cleared, and then enjoyed an evening of yummy food, wonderful dancers, kids playing, and double rainbows after the rain!
