I’ve done posts like this before. They are responses to those who say that there isn’t anything to do in New Haven. Because of my role as a State Senator I am at a lot of events that are free and fun in and around the city and my camera goes with me to document just how untrue this is.
This is only a small portion of what was happening this past weekend:
 |
| Staff and community listen in as Lincoln Bassett’s New Principal delivers a new vision for the school before the Party With A Purpose |
 |
| I wasn’t the only photographer present |
 |
| Maybe my memory is short but I don’t remember my teachers doing anything like the wobble. |
 |
| On Friday evening in Scantlebury Park Alder Morrison, State Rep Porter and members of the community listen to free live music. |
 |
| Free music and dancing go together perfectly |
 |
| The singing was on point |
 |
| On Saturday just beyond the New Haven line in a park in Newhallville free fun was available in the form of music, cotton candy, bouncy houses and pizza. |
 |
 |
| Also on Saturday on Lilac Street a huge back to school community event took place. Here event coordinator Tammy Chapman attends to details. |
 |
| I think that book bag is about as big as he is |
 |
| The DJs paused so that these two could demonstrate their freestyle ability |
 |
| The Wobble. Its presence has become ubiquitous |
There was more but this photographer also shot a wedding so my camera and I needed some rest. Keep an eye open there is always plenty to do in and around the city.
