Memorial day festivals and going forward to July 4th, written by me Gloria Poole,RN,artist of/in Missouri

I, Gloria Poole, [RN, artist of Missouri] am posting only some of the upcoming festivals and have sorted them by when they occur. I include the contact info, the location and where to buy tickets if that info is sent to me. I am trying to promote wholesome entertainment for all, so I do not include those festivals that promote drinking of alcohol or use of drugs. I am numbering for ease of reference. Also my thanks to my viewers/ readers of this blog for the previous post in the US and UK. For complete list of countries that view/read my blogs and tweets please see my https://gloriapoole.blogspot.com.

This is my selfie [Gloria Poole,RN, artist] in spring 2014 but I look the same except that I am thinner and my hair is longer but I still put it in lop-sided pony tail when I walk about or create art to prevent hair from blowing into my eyes or into paint.That is also me that you see in the "about me" box on right side of this blog and I am wearing a dark grey winter wool hat because that photo was taken of me in state of Georgia in Jan 2010 and my family in Georgia saw me wearing that hat and so did other people. So I am leaving that photo also on this blog for that reason.

This is one of my photos of the U S flag I photographed on walkabout to remind all I am a U S citizen with all civil liberties including freedom of Press, freedom to worship THE LORD GOD, and freedom to associate with whomever I want or not to associate with those GOD labels "abomination" and freedom to protest governments.
