Friday evening I met up with my friend Stephanie and her girls Courtney and Bailee for Holladay's annual "Blue Moon Festival". It's usually held the same weekend as a blue moon, and it's a way to celebrate the end of summer, and what feels like the entire community comes out for it. Since Steph works for the city, and her girls go to school close by, I have friends to tag along with.
There's always booths from local crafters - usually way overpriced, but fun to look at; food trucks; and a band or two playing on the town square.
This year was a Reggae band (Reggae has never really been my thing), and a local Neil Diamond cover band. I was much more interested in the Neil Diamond band.
After looking through all the booths, we also like to make a stop at the local Frozen Yogurt joint. It's one of those places where you load up a cup with your favorite yogurt flavor, then top it with yummy goodness (e.g. fruit, candy, nuts, etc.), and pay by the ounce. My fave is usually a mix of vanilla and chocolate, topped with some hot fudge. Not quite as appetizing this year, as I ended up with sugar-free, non-fat chocolate. Gahh! Thankfully this was remedied by a rather strong shot of hot fudge.
Finally it was back to the square for a few more tunes, and then home. A fun evening with the community and with great friends.
