Fashion and Design Festival

Last week I was looking around on Twitter and noticed that someone posted a link about an outdoor fashion show. I thought it looked cool and decided to check it out. It turned out that it was the first annual Fashion and Design Festival and Halifax was their first stop. It was a little disorganized but I forgave them because it was their first show.

Country Concert

Some of you may remember reading that I got free tickets to some concerts. August 6th was the only day I was actually free to go to any of them. It was a beautiful day. It was hot and sunny. The hottest day we had in a few weeks. The gates for the concert opened at 1:30pm and the first act was scheduled to go on at 2:30pm. I was planning on meeting up with a couple of girls from work at the concert. Unfortunately, one of them had to work until 3pm. I didn’t know the two bands...
