53.We visited the Nakagawa district "Evening Cooling Gathering" in Nakagawa district!

　Many people gather in front of the district center before the start of the day, waiting "now or now" to start.
　At the beginning of 15:00, the Okazu drum was squeezed and the festival began.

　At the gymnasium, there were performances by the Japanese drum club of Okazu Elementary School, Ryoke Junior High School brass band at Ryoke Junior High School, and presentations by the dance club of Okazu Junior High School.
　At Nishigaoka Park, there were mock shops, scooping goldfish, traps, etc., and we were able to meet a lot of happy smiles for the children, and I was able to spend a very wonderful time.

　In this operation, we recruited the operation staff on the day from the area, and about 150 people offered to cooperate.
　With the support of many volunteers and officers, we were able to spend a lively and enjoyable time with the local community.
　I think that the officers had a great deal of trouble, such as planning the first summer festival to the operation while taking infection control measures.
　Thank you very much for your help. And thank you very much.
