First off as always, a free BBQ was provided to all including hotdogs, hamburgers, cotton candy, sno-cones, sausage & peppers, and watermellon. Mayor Lou Rosamilia even joined in the fun at the grill. He cooked and served the community members of Stowe Avenue all they could eat.
There was so much more than just food going on at this block party that there really was a little bit of something for everyone. Families and fun were the predominate forces for this bright sunny day of celebration.
Having had some ring announcer experience for professional wrestling, including two times at the Times Union Arena in Albany NY with The WWE, I had the pleasure of being named the special emcee for a new feauture this year; championship sumo matches. The inflatible sumo costume challenge was good fun with the participants making their ways to the circle of competition accompanied with theme music and a ridiculous professional ring announcer providing live commentary to boot.
Additionally, there was this year's installment of the traditional "No Hands Needed Mega Meatball Eating Contest." There was also a tag team water balloon tossing contest.
In the end, the yearly summer block party on Stowe Ave was a great success. A splendid time was had by all.
