Sakaide Fall Matsuri

Continuing the proud Sakaide Festival Tradition, we set out on October 17th (in a large group of two!!) to haul a two-ton o-mikoshi (portable festival shrine) around town again with a friendly team of locals.  This time, the main event was a massive gathering in front of the Hachiman Shrine.  There was something quite powerful and cultural about lifting the o-mikoshi here.  Beer and karage (fried chicken) helped fuel the festivities!
