Day 2 - 268 -- Increased Activity Downtown Today

I went out on errands twice today. The sun was present with a crisp fall feel to the air. Things were quiet downtown this afternoon, even the stores had fewer people than usual. However, things changed dramatically when I headed out in early evening. The store was busier but the downtown area was filled with revellers. Tonight was the Art After Dark festival, a part of Culture Days. Two bands were playing with performance art set up along the street. Out behind my house, in the graveyard, was a story-teller/singer. Many people were roaming along the bank of the brook viewing various kiosks with foods and other items. A craft show and sale is in town this weekend, too. It is great to see this annual series of events come to town.

The extra activity on Main Street reminded me of a song that is coming out next week when a new album drops -- titled Future Nostalgia. The band is a wonderful award-winning group from Saskatoon, who channel older music styles with a new twist. They even have a strong retro look <smile>. There are two videos for this tune and I've decided to include both here. The first features the band members more centrally than the second, which is made from a number of vintage public domain films from 50-60 years ago (and includes the lyrics on screen) -- love them both. So, I'll let you choose your favourite. Enjoy!
