投稿の詳細: 春祭り Spring Festival in our town.

久しぶりに穏やかな陽の光に恵まれた
北信濃路須坂にささやかな賑わいが訪れる。
かつては華やかだった商店街に、ちょっとした
心持と笑顔を持ち寄りそれぞれに楽しむひと時。

子供や大人の鼓笛隊が行進して、思い思いの
出し物やら売り物を流したり、顔見知りの家族の
元気を確かめる。穏やかな一日。

私も道行く人と言葉を交わしながら、定番となった
ワインのカップ売りをしながら、
胡桃やら古本やらを並べた出店の店守を
楽しむ。

金沢や東京から寄ったというお客様もいて、楽しんで
頂けた様です。

ワインを売りつつ、陽にあたりつつ

太鼓をたたきつつ子供達の行進

大人のマーチングバンドも。　ちょっと緊張気味？

The sun came to shine after long winter cold in our small town
of Suzaka in the north part of Nagano, a snow country.
The people gathered for the spring festival of the old
shopping street once very crowded long time ago. They
were smiling with good faith and seemed to enjoy this
small feast very much.

The marching bands of small kids and adults came up and
down the streets among the people who were enjoying the small shops
selling goods, foods and beverages. Some were saying hello to the old
friends making sure of the family’s good health. Such a peaceful day.

I sold my wines by cup by chatting with the visitors and
by looking after the goods like chestnuts and second hand
books.

There were some from Kanazawa or Tokyo who visited this festival by chace.
I hope they were happy to pass their time with us here.
