One of the great unanswered questions: What ever happened to our Caribbean Festival?

The President has a theme song; Syracuse Football has a fight song,but we think this would be a great welcome to summer song for our city. In fact, maybe Sophistafunk and the 315 Elks Pride Drumline could play the next Hancock Airport musical showcase or open up the Northeast Jazz and Wine Festival.
Stroke’s Israel Hagan chopped it up on the Delta Air Lines Clinton Square Stage (Taste of Syracuse) on Friday.

Jack and Maxwell Brown: Express Mart Erie Blvd Stage, Taste of Syracuse (Friday)
We thought it was generous and down right classy for Sophistafunk to yield some of their Taste of Syracuse: Express Mart Erie Blvd Stage performance to the 315 Elks Pride Drumline last night.
The brief musical collaboration caused a pleasant ruckus.

Last week USA Today highlighted several towns to experience public art and Syracuse was not on the list. Hopefully that will change because at last week’s outreach meeting the Connective Corridor staff reported that nearly 300 artists submitted proposals to enhance the cultural and business district. Also, more facade and lighting projects are coming.
And while we look forward to the aesthetic possibilities, we know it’s the day-to-day work that makes a difference. We caught up with construction manager Gregory Miller at the outreach meeting to talk about his role.
Beards to the Rescue
Here are some photos from the Friday night’s flirtation with hair-raising, also known as the Festival of the Fantastical Facial Follicle.
How many beards can you count?
We are not sure the color of this dress, but this lady made quite an impression with style and substance in the feminine category (lashes/brows).
Syracuse’s favorite impersario Mike Heagerty preps the judges. He is wearing an extension, or a beard weave or chin toupe crafted by Shannon Flemming.
These contestants know how to apply mustache wax like a couple of bosses.
Todd Yoder (right), a two-time beard champ, said he hasn’t shaved his tentacled facial sweater since last year. He is pictured here with a fellow winner.
