MARTIN LUTHER KING Jr DAY/WEEKEND
A bit of history..... Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is a United States federal holiday marking the birthday of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. It is observed on the third Monday of January each year, which is around the time of King's birthday, January 15. The floating holiday is similar to holidays set under the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, though the act predated the establishment of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day by fifteen years.
Throughout the weekend there are various events happening. Parades, BBQ's family time..... One event i attended for the very first time was Battle of the bands. I felt as though i was right there on the set of one of my favorite movies Drumline..... so cool!!!! We saw the Middle and High school students and i'm told that the college level is really what i need to see. So i look forward to that!!!
When we arrived we were greeted by this man checking our tickets.... his teeth or grill as they call it just amazed me.... i mean how do you eat???? mmmmhhhh anyhoooo lol
We got our seats and i immediately went into Film mode hehe
The evening was great but it started raining so an investment in some ponchos was the way to go.... But first i tried covering myself with surrounding umbreallas..... it didn't work at all.... SMH
We then resorted to drive to the nearest Dollar store and invest in some ponchos... these things are magnificent.... :)
I had a blast with my friends! They are helping me understand American Culture and i'm loving doing something New in the process of it all!!!!
I have captured a few of my favorite moments of the evening.... I hope you will enjoy it too....
Have a wonderful day:)
