Echo Park Lake Lotus Festival is back!
This is very exciting for Echo Park… the Lotus Festival has returned!
The 34th Lotus Festival takes place this weekend, July 12 and 13. This year’s host country is the Philippines.
This is not only the first year since the park was closed and renovated, it’s been a few years since there have been actual Lotus flowers blossoming at the lake. There will also be the return of the Dragon Boat races, as well as some delicious food, entertainment, performances, music and dancing.
To kick off the festivities, Council District 13 is hosting Echo Park Night on Friday, July 11 with a film screening and live music. Picnic baskets and blankets encouraged!

A further issue is that video games are usually serious in nature with the primary focus on knowing things rather than fun. Although, there’s an entertainment facet to keep the kids engaged, every single game will likely be designed to work towards a specific group of skills or program, such as mathmatical or research. Thanks for your post.

numerous varied angles. Its like men and women don’t

Woah! I’m really enjoying the template/theme of this blog.
It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s very difficult to get that “perfect balance” between usability and visual appearance.
I must say that you’ve done a superb job with this. Additionally, the blog loads extremely quick for me on Firefox.
Outstanding Blog!
Good article. I will be facing many of these issues as well..
Hi, constantly i used to check blog posts here in the early hours in the break of day, since i
enjoy to find out more and more.
I think everything said was very logical.
However, what about this? suppose you composed a catchier
post title? I ain’t saying your content is not good., however suppose you added a title to maybe get people’s attention? I
mean Echo Park Lake Lotus Festival is back! | Echo Park Now is kinda plain. You could look at Yahoo’s home page and watch how they create news headlines to
grab people to open the links. You might add a related video or a related pic
or two to get readers excited about everything’ve got to say.
Just my opinion, it might make your website a little
bit more interesting.
I pay a visit each day some web sites and blogs to read posts, however this web site provides
quality based posts.
I have interest in this, cheers.

I have a service blog whereby I provide specific items and services. It is likewise a general-information blog, however. I am seeking to relocate to an additional blog host. I recognize that blogspot offers user-sponsored advertising, yet are there any other complimentary blog sites that allow something like blogspot’s adsense and/or user-sponsored advertising?.
And this is an investment danger value taking.
Hello this is kinda of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to
manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have
no coding knowledge so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Its like you read my thoughts! You seem to know a lot about this, like you wrote the e-book in it or something.
