The All-Slope-Solstice-Shout-Out really happened. On Third Street adults and children made noise: pots and pans, wine bottles, a singing bowl, whistles, horns…

We watched our watches and at the strike of 8:31 pm, the joyful noise began. It went on for five minutes or so.

The sky was beautiful.

The kids walked around the block, a noisemaker’s parade. "The best part of Stoopendous," OSFO reported.

Such fun.
