Sakon City preparing for Children Day

Folk were busy at the Ming Muang Field preparing for Children Day activities.
Seems to be a government sponsored activity, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if there are going to be speeches.
Doubt that the kids will sit still for something like that for long

Kids are probabbly going to be more interested in the wares the vendors are pedling

Sakon Nakhon (Motor) Bike Show

January 19,
Ming Muang Field
admission 100 B
The Poster on Facebook indicates Isan Bike Week 3

Don't tell me they discovered a way to shrink a week into one night?
AMAZING THAILAND
Not sure if this is a week long event or a one night'er.

If it's a week long affair, it will run concurrent with the temple fair.
Both venues are about six blocks apart 
Wouldn't you just love to live right in the middle for the stereo effect

There's gonna be some Thai rock stars
this one and this one

Most likely it's a one night affair
