Trippin’ Down the Freeway

Hello again. Hard to believe it has been a whole month since my last update, but the fact is this summer has been way too hot to blog, although I can’t complain about it because I have enjoyed my fair share of outings. Which reminds me I have to thank all the great people at the Woodville Community Festival Organizing Committee, I have attending this event since I was knee high to a grasshopper and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. Before moving on from that subject I have to thank all who participated in the Ricky Otter Memorial Volleyball Tournament. This is turning into a great event and everyone who knew Ricky or knows the Otter Family they have always been great supporters within Woodville and the surrounding area. For all involved the appreciation is not always evident but is always nearby so Thank You!

Heading along these summer months my latest adventure took me to the distance shores of the St Lawrence River and to the beautiful capital of Canada. This trip took me to my 2nd of 3 summer music festivals Ottawa Bluesfest. This festival was slightly different from the Belleville excursion as it is a two week long event with the likes of Great Big Sea, Carlos Santana and Rush gracing the stage. Now I wasn’t able to see all of these acts so I won’t be reviewing as I had previously done. But I will tell you that I had an eye opening blues experience when The Tommy Castro band took the stage. This was music at its core stripped down blues at its finest just an indescribable time. Oh yeah and I also saw another band named Weezer that you may have heard of lol. They put on a great show also and front man Rivers Cuomo even took it upon himself to throw on a Lady Gaga wig and offer his own rendition of “Poker Face.”

All in all great stuff and look forward to pictures from this event and also my Chicago trip if I ever get around to editing some of the content. Kelsey Out
