Theme Day: Celebrating Summer

For the Town of Speedway, summer began 

last May with the inaugural Indy Grand Prix and

the Indy 500 on Memorial Day.

As for "celebrating summer"?

Shoot, if you can't find something in this

town to interest you, then it's you that has a problem.

We're already in the throes of numerous athletic

events - cycling, swimming, running;

food festivals from the innocuous church ladies

and their strawberries and cream, to what seems

to be any excuse to down buckets of beer

and myriad deep-fried foods on a stick.

There's church league softball and 

minor league baseball, as well as the city's

new professional soccer team, the Indy Eleven.

Musical performances ranging from genteel classics

performed by the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra

to raunchy pyrotechnics of last gasp middle-aged

hard rock bands will dance their way

through town, with the Indy Jazz Fest spreading

into an increasing number of venues later

in the season. Yep, there's plenty to do. 

Some mornings though, I just like to get up early 

to enjoy summer's golden light.

From the added glow to the little window display 

in a Speedway shop, and to the fiery reds 

of this homeowner's house and car, summer's

colors are celebrations all by themselves.
