Hooping at Taste of Marietta 2012

Did you make it to Taste of Marietta this year? Just as we did last year, we went early, hooped to the live music by Three Way Street, and left when the heat and crowds were no-longer hoopable. Well. That and the awesome band was going to wrap up soon so there wasn't much point to staying. Um. Except perhaps for the food. And the other awesome bands. And...on second thought, maybe we should have stayed longer, hoops and all!

Last year I didn't think to get advance permission from the Taste of Marietta hosts. This year I did, though. And perhaps we'll be lucky enough to be invited back again in 2013. I certainly hope so. I want to dance to Three Way Street again.

And here are several pictures of our hooping day. Thanks so much to Jason Bourne for taking them!
