8-30-08 Downtown Pontiac at the annual Chrysler Arts, Beats and Eats outdoor festival. This photo was taken on top of the Phoenix Center looking north up Saginaw street. It's very crowed, the city basicly shut down the street for the entire Labor Day weekend and have vendors all over with their crafts, food and stages for band at the end of some of the side streets. The main band events take place on top, on the Phoenix Center's main stage. Tonights main band is Boney James, smooth jazz. A couple of years ago we stayed for Rick Springfield (Jessie's girl) and the year before we saw the B 52 Bombers (Love Shack) they were crazy.
They also have Carnival rides. They were supposed to have a Guitar Hero contest, I didn't find it.
This vendor carves frogs, crickets and other different critters. They come with a small wooden stick and when you rub the back of the critter with the stick it makes the sound that it makes in the wild. Pretty cool.
Because Eva and Nathen liked the toads we caught for them when they were here this past summer we bought 2 small frogs , one for each of them. You hold the frog by their back legs and while holding the small end of the stick you rub the frog with the big end of the stick from tail to head. It sounds just like a tree frog.
This vendor welded different metal parts together along with a saxophone to make a cool looking sax player. There are so many cool and interesting things to see and buy, I just can't post them all.

Looks like you had fun, wish we could have been there. And thanks for the frog for Nathan, he is going to love it. Especially since in makes noise. One month and counting till we come :)
I can't wait to get the frog for Eva. She will love it. I was just asking her the other day if she missed toad. So it will be fun for her to have one she can play with.
