The other day I was reading my copy of Offbeat and came upon a wonderful ad that said 'Halloween on Oak Street' sponsored by the Maple Leaf and Papafrog Productions.
Papafrog Productions - as in our Papafrog? Well, indeed it is !!!!!!
This will be the first year of Halloween on Oak Street. It is going to be a celebration of the Ivory Coast Festival of the Masks. Ivoire Spectacle will be African drumming in the street with our own Papafrog, and two bands at the Maple Leaf, Jon Cleary and Renard Poche. There will also be a costume contest with prizes that have been donated from vendors in the area and around the city.
There will also be an African Mask vendor selling authentic masks, and maybe a few others.
The festival is also getting support from a few other vendors on the street including a newer bar at 8801 Oak - called Station 8801 and, Jeff (papafrog) tells me that they may begin having live music shortly !!!!!! For the festival the band The Revivalists will be playing in front of Station 8801.
This sounds like a cool event and if anyone is in the area go out and support a fellow threadhead and the Maple Leaf who has apparently been phenomenal with support for this event.
