It's fun! August 12 2nd District Joint Bon Dance Festival

　
　On August 12 (holiday, Monday), the 2nd district joint Bon Dance Festival was held in Tobe Koen.
　This summer, when hot days continue, this summer, a cool breeze began to pass in the evening, and the sound of a powerful drum began to resonate with the beautiful sunset, starting with the performance of "Yutaka Sugi Taiko". It began to sound. As the sun went down, the dance circle became bigger and bigger, and it became the Obon Dance Festival, where a total of 300 people, from children to the elderly, gathered.
　This Bon Odori is held jointly by Neighborhood Association Neighborhood Associations in District 2. Bon Odori, which has become difficult to hold in Neighborhood Association Neighborhood Associations due to labor shortages and other factors, has made it possible for everyone to cooperate and work together to further deepen exchanges within the district. I feel the ingenuity and strength of unity of everyone in the second district.
　A variety of songs including the local Ondo "Nishi Ward Ondo" and "Fujidana Ondo" as well as the classic "coal mines" and "large Tokyo Ondo" as well as "Jumbory Mickey" and "Dancing Hero" were available to a wide range of generations. In addition, the dance teacher entered the circle and became an example so that even beginners could easily participate.
　This year marks the 80th anniversary of the Nishi Ward system, and we received a great deal of cooperation in distributing commemorative fans and promoting them with banners. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all those involved, including the Neighborhood Associations Neighborhood Association of District 2. Thank you very much for your participation.
