Uptown's Riverfest 2014

One of the best things about living in Fort Benning is that Columbus is just off post. Even though it is a pretty large city, it still has that small town feel. Riverfest was this weekend and it was a blast. Sidewalk chalk art was everywhere, live bands were set up along the riverwalk, and the Chattahoochie River was filled with dragonboat races! Even though it was overcast, it was a fun date. 
Chalk artists were drawing all over the sidewalks. Some of the designs were quite intricate.
We tried some Jamaican Soda from a specialty food truck. The ginger beer was surprisingly good.
My handsome husband won a dinosaur toy throwing darts at balloons in the classic carnival style game. I think this redeems him from the disastrous attempt in Santa Cruz last year!
This is what happens when I hand Justin the camera- he waits until I am not looking then twists the camera so it is nothing like what I expected. And it actually looks pretty cool.
Photobomb by Meeker the T-Rex!
This tree has the coolest, most convoluted design. I had to snap a pic before I left the island.
I am not sure what this guy was doing. Possibly just a fun workout?
The dragonboat races were pretty cool. Fast paced and constantly paddling.
Ok, so now that we have established that I cannot take a decent picture... Time for a nice one!
