Went to a restarted weekly outdoor event -- cancelled since the pandemic-- in a very small rural community.
Am certain different political beliefs were present, but for a few hours everyone was just into the music, the for-once cool weather, crafts, etc.
Communities need these physical get-togethers*; felt healing.
Farmers markets/festivals for peace?
*Distancing was discretely happening, masks were around, uncommented.
That's excellent. When you share a casserole with someone it makes it much harder to line up against them on the barricades.
@b4cks4w This is true, we do need these small gatherings in rural areas. Many of us rural living folk are still masking and distancing to keep spread down and I know that my family and I miss the folk festivals, and farmers markets in our part of Michigan.

When folks don't have their "leaders" screaming at them to hate each other, they seem to get along pretty well.
