Eric and I walked from Jerry's house in Rotterdam to downtown Schenectady for Schenectady County SummerNight.

This summer festival has grown A LOT since it started in 2005.  There's more "good eats" to for festival goers.

Cajun Foods.

The crowd is building.







A bartender at Johnny's told Eric and me that 30,000 people are expected at "SummerNight."

Eric pointed out this Chopper,
parked near the Hampton Inn.

I admire its paint job &
 extensive chromed parts.

Night falls & the crowds
continue to grow.







Gin Blossoms is playing on the Main Stage.  The crowd is so large that we can't get near the Main Stage.
