Celebrate! West Hartford

Celebrate! West Hartford
Came to town in June
The arts, the crafts
The piano player’s tune

Paintings, sculptures, unique items
Creepy doll art candle holders
Photographs of local towns
Scarves to throw over the shoulders

Wooden signs for your front door
Ceramic bowls and handmade toys
Metal stuff for your front lawn
Clothing for your girls or boys

Walking stick and bamboo flutes
Jewelry hung up on racks
Key chains, pencils, pens and pads
Chiropractors fixing backs

Churches looking for new members
More and more non-profit groups
High school dancers, players, singers
And adult performing troupes

Children with their faces painted
Loose balloons up in the air
Toddlers sleeping in their strollers
And the red bags everywhere

Relaxing on a trolley ride
Had some ice cream on a waffle
Watched them play some mini golf
I bought a ticket to a raffle

Salads, hot dogs, and French fries,
The fresh made kettle corn
By end of day most parents
Would be tired out and worn.

Don’t tell me you stayed at home
And missed it all. Oh dear!
What a shame, but just remember
You can always go next year.
