Indoor Festival?


      Sure, it looks like we're outside and all, but this is the picture of the performers just before we went inside of the building you see on the right.  Yep, the Franklin Armory is where the forecast of rain landed Atumpan African Dance for the day.  Luckily, it did not rain while we were in Franklin, VA for their annual festival hosted by Parks and Recreation, but its always a good thing to play it safe.
     See?  The festival is indoors, complete with balloon animals and face painter and vendors too.  Inside that brick building, we drafted audience members to join the fun, hence the folks to the far right that aren't in costume, but doing pretty well with Funga, a welcome song and dance.  Notice there is no bounce house, much to the dismay of our Junior Dancers.


     Our junior dancers paraded in the senior (and senior citizen) dancers with some great energy.  If you look over to the far left of the picture, you'll notice the baby dancer hanging out in an idle sort of way.  Baby dancers can be that way.
