Eight to the Bar

I have had too many Elizabeth Park photos recently, so I promised myself to give the park a rest. 

Then I remembered the free concerts on Wednesday nights.  Last Wednesday, the local group Eight to the Bar performed for a huge crowd.  It was like a circus with a main stage and many side shows.  One of my favorite side shows was the women and children working out with hula hoops.

  1. You can never show too many Elizabeth Park photos! It's my favourite place that I've never visited. Great to see so many people enjoying what looks like a warm summer's evening.

  7. I will never tire of Elizabeth Park, I am thrilled that you share with us. I'm impressed with anyone other than kids, teen, college students or athletes who can do the hula hoop, I tried it recently and was surprised how much effort was involved.

  14. Looks like everyone had a good time or the best time ever! And a perfect evening. Don't see many hula hoops these days, but Lois Anne and our granddaughter got going with the hula hoop a couple of years ago. Milady could do hundreds of revolutions. I could do maybe one if lucky!

    Stay cool!

  18. Last time I saw someone working out with a hula hoop was Grace Jones on a FANTASTIC performance of 'Slave to the Rhythm' on Queen Elizabeth's Jubilee. Check the video on Youtube, it's worth it.
