It was a great event on a beautiful day in a beautiful park. What was Cincinnati's "needle park" is now a place of beauty and fun being used by a wide variety of people. Old folks, kids, decent people of all ages and races having a good time. 2 years ago I wouldnt walk through there at noon. Now kids are frollicking in the water park,dogs are playing in the dog park. They sold beer and spirits,and I saw nobody drunk. A stage set up with our incomparable Music Hall as a backdrop. Cincinnati has done something right!

I didn't realize it until I went to the Celtic Fest last weekend that the revamped Washington Park is just what was needed in front of Music Hall.
