Out in the streets


On August 24 we went to an outdoor street fair in downtown Boise.  It was interesting. They had several blocks of the main streets blocked off, with a bunch of small booths set up.



There were a lot of interesting people walking around.



There were booths selling bread



and organic vegetables



and a variety of artwork, pottery, etc.



As you were wandering around, sometimes you'd also come across people playing music, like this.



Yes, that's Lisa and her quartet playing on the street corner.












They played for about four hours.



They had a really good spot, on the corner of 8th and Idaho, right at the center of the street fair.



A lot of people stopped to listen.



A fair number also put money in their tip jar. Lisa made more than if she'd taken an extra shift at her "day job."



Here's her friend Chelsey, who was playing the harp on the opposite corner of the intersection.



They had fun....




...and sounded great.




Way to go, kids!
