Smoked Salmon On A Stick

There are more photos from my archives because I have not been able to go out to take new photos. This was from The American Folk Festival a couple weeks ago. The vendor sold a thick slab of smoked salmon on a stick.

So have you ever had smoked salmon on a stick?

Arts & Craft

This photo was taken at The American Folk Festival a couple weeks ago. The gentleman in the photo was displaying some of his craft works -- this one is a collapsible wooden basket.

So would you be interested in buying something like this?

Maestro Modesto Nieves

The gentleman on the far left of the photo is musical maestro Modesto Nieves from Puerto Rico. The instrument in his hands is a cuatro, a guitar from Latin America that has four main strings and an additional four harmonizing strings near the base. Mr. Nieves and his band were invited guests at the recent American Folk Festival in Bangor.

So what kind of music do you listen to?

Cowboy & Bag

What really prompted me to take this photo of the good looking cowboy was actually his lasso rope bag. I didn't know it was a lasso bag when I took the photo (with his permission, of course) until later when I realized he was part of a dog and rope act at the American Folk Festival last weekend. I love the aged patina of that leather bag.

So do you have a favorite bag?

Reggae Concert

Here is a concert by a Jamaican reggae band at The American Folk Festival in Bangor over the weekend. The 3-day event attracted more tourists to the area than any other events. The photo was taken on Friday night when it was dry and cool. It rained all day Saturday so I went back on Sunday morning to see more bands.

So what is the weather like where you are at?

The American Folk Festival

This is the entrance to The American Folk Festival on the waterfront in Bangor. It is the largest public event/festival in Bangor and the most important tourist attraction for the township.

So what did you do this weekend?
