Over 1,500 men, women, and children attended Chabad of Georgetown’s annual Lag Ba’omer festival, organized by Rabbi Avraham Holtzberg.
Participants enjoyed entertainment, a barbecue, raffles, rides, music, a bonfire, and lots more.
After Rabbi Shimmy Weinbaum, who came accompanied by a lively group of bochurim, told the children the beautiful story behind the Lag Ba’omer celebration, many raffles with exciting prizes were distributed, including a grand prize raffle for an iPAD 2!
The crowds of people were free to spend their time among numerous different attractions, including a giant pirate ship, the spinning apple twist, and a mini roller coaster. There was even horseback riding and buggy rides!
“It’s the greatest event of the year, everyone loves to come,” said a participant, “we look forward to it all year round!”
A full dinner was served, with over 2,000 burgers and hotdogs, corn on the cob, ice cream, cotton candy and popcorn. As night fell a large traditional bonfire was lit, accompanied by music, singing, and dancing late into the night.
