Friendship Festival 2008

Ready to begin our shift
The Friendship Festival is Yokota's yearly festival. It is the one time all Japanese Nationals are invited into the base to see our planes, eat good food and listen to good music. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate. The temperature today was 64 degress and rain all day. Rene and I volunteered to work a booth for Larissa's school. Rene was in charge of the cotton candy machine. I have to say the cotton candy was a hit. He worked two hours straight just making cotton candy sticks as the orders came through. Tomorrow he will work with the Med group as a medic. Hopefully the weather will improve for tomorrow. This is a great fundraiser event. We capped off the night with fireworks.
