　On Saturday, July 22, we visited the summer festivals in the second and fifth districts.

　The Fureai Festival in District 2 was held in Nisimae Elementary School, where many children enjoyed dancing, balloon darts, slime making and grand golf with a smile. In the schoolyard, junior high school volunteers held a 50-meter run time measurement session, and both children and adults ran together and sweated refreshingly. . At the gymnasium stage, everyone at the venue was excited by the opening ceremony by the Nisi Junior High School Brass Band and the announcement of local ballet classes, and applause did not stop. The health check corner and drink sales were also very popular, and many elderly people were checking their own health while hydrating.

　The Noryo Festival in District 5 was held at Nishi public hall, West District Center. This year, under the title of "Gathering of Health and Welfare and Children's Summer Festival", there are many features from bingo games, treasure fishing games, goldfish scooping, etc. to health measurement and community welfare enlightenment booths, from children to the elderly It was crowded with many people. On stage, Hiranuma Elementary School, Okano Junior High School, and local circles announced their daily results, and the venue was full of enthusiasm. . The mock shops for eating and drinking, such as fried noodles and shaved ice, were so prosperous that some shops were sold out early.
　In addition, Bon Odori has been revived in the gymnasium for the first time in three years. In the circle of local people, I danced "Nishi Ward Ondo" together.

　In both summer festivals, local people gathered together and were full of smiles and joy.
　I realized again that the festival was a valuable opportunity to bring vitality and vitality to the entire region and deepen local bonds. I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the efforts of many stakeholders, including the Neighborhood Association Neighborhood Associations and the Noryo Festival in District 2 and the Noryo Festival in District 5. The ward office will also work with the local community so that these local events and events can regain vitality and make Nishi Ward a “town that makes everyone happy.”
