"Libbey Park had an international dance show today. A lot of dance shows were scheduled throughout the day.
I liked the park. It is filled with trees and has nice walkways amidst the grass and dedicated areas - small bowl, small stage, fountain, and restrooms. I took 1 picture of a performance and the day's schedule."
