Downtown Columbus on a Saturday Night

This is very hard to make out but it is a picture from COSI, looking across the river to downtown Columbus. In the forefront, is some blue and pink color that is a bandstand with a band playing and the bright spots you see behind that is "waterfire". This consists of floating fire pits full of firewood that are lit from a boat and burn on the water. It is a really pretty sight and they do this several times each year.
We then walked over to an Arts Festival at Genoa Park along the Scioto River in front of COSI. There were some beautiful things but we were just not in a buying mood. :(
Sandy & Jeff Glassman and Dennis at the Gay Street Festival. We ate at Tip Top and had Salmon Fritters and Eggplant Fries. They were out of their fried green tomatoes. :( The festival was just a conglomeration of booths and a band was playing. The weather was beautiful.
This was interesting!
We were downtown and walking along High Street when we saw this "Parade" come by. It turned out to be a memorial service in the form of a parade for their friend, Damen Johnson, who died a couple of years ago.
