Lots to do in Catasauqua this weekend!

I just got back from the Iron Works Summer Blast.  It was hot but there was a really good crowd there; which I love seeing at an event it Catasauqua.

 There is a little of everything.  Food, music, beverages, and all kinds of entertainment.  My bff, Cathy and I didn't stay real long, but we saw lots friends and enjoyed a frozen lemonade.  It is exciting to see what Catasauqua might become.  It great to see that they are taking a site and using it the best way possible.  



There was Bike Demos from the Catty Woods bmx bike riders, games for the children, and even a Beer Garden - along with a real garden with a really cool water feature. 




Also, if you think you have what it takes to be a fire fighter, they had Junior Fireman obstacle course you could try out.  (Just a side note - Cathy and I did  not try this course)

There was also an interactived art mural that you can paint your thoughts on.

Besides musical entertainment you could catch the Burning Hearts Fire and Light Theater.

It if gets to hot down at the blast furnace you can head up to the North Catasauqua Park for their last night.  I was up there Thursday night enjoying the music of  the Large Flowerheads.  The North Catty Carnival is always a fun time.

Now - if you wake tomorrow and feel like going to church and perhaps a picnic - Salem UCC is having Church in the Park at 10 AM tomorrow followed by a picnic and games.  Please feel free to join us.

Well, I gotta go take a shower, my new fitness tracker tells me I just  walked 3526 steps and I am a little sweaty.

Don't forget - there is a lot of stuff to do in Catty - check it out - and that's ...another day in Catasauqua

Carnival and Blues Jams

Music is in the air everywhere in Catasauqua this weekend. First the North Catasauqua small Town USA CARNIVAL, it started Wednesday and runs until Saturday, June 18th. Parke and I wandered up Wednesday night and there was a pretty good crowd. The rides look really neat, there is a couple I wouldn't mind going on and of course, there is food. I saw tacos, turkey barbeque, hot dogs, smoothies, ice cream....etc.

I personally like to go just to sit with friends, eat a little something and talk, which I did last night with my friend Shirley, we went and enjoyed the oldies music along with some funnel cake and pizza.

Also happening is the 6th Annual Lehigh River (why it's not near the river?) Blues Jam --June 17 through Sunday, June 19 (Father's Day for those who got 'em). The prices are as follows:

June 17, 2011 ($5 Fri. 6-10 pm)
June 18, 2011 ($10 Sat. 2-10 pm)
June 19, 2011 ($10 Sun. 1-7 pm)

I use to love to go to the Blues Jam because it is just a short walk for me, and sit on the hill and listen for awhile. But since everything is fenced in it lost some of its ambience, sometimes I go down and walk around for awhile. Having to pay and go inside the fenced area spoiled it for me, blues are cool and sitting out in the hot sun isn't cool.

Well, that's it for now, my grandpup goes home today, and my cats can come out of hiding. There is plenty to do this weekend in Catty, so maybe I will see you and with that it's.......another day in Catasauqua.
