"Olivette on the Go," Certainly Had Something for Everyone

Carnival rides, entertainment, street run all came off without a hitch.

Olivette On the Go, a three day festival, was held at Stacy Park in Olivette over the weekend. This family event featured a 5K run, food vendors from local restaurants, live music from area musicians, carnival rides, entertainment and more.

New this year, carnival rides for all ages.

“We’ve changed all of the carnival rides this year. They are all new,” said Larry Gerstein.

Local musicians entertained throughout the day, while featured bands performed in the evenings.

Erin Bode drew a large crowd Saturday night. People love her,” said Gerstein about a local musician who has gain international recognition.

Event-goers had their pick between the usual festival fare, local restaurant eats and unusual items such as I Scream Cakes, which are made right here in St. Louis with 100 percent natural ingredients.

In my opinion the victims are not to blame for the crimes committed against them. However, commonRead More sense dictates that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Lock your car doors, do not leave valuables in plain sight, don't leave the ground floor windows on your home open when you're away, wear a seatbelt. Duh! There's no shortage of scumbags ready and willing to take advantage of you. Don't make it easy for them.

Maybe the person has nothing worth stealing in the car and has a gun to protect the home? So, whenRead More the person walks into that house, are you going to blame the homeowner for "entrapment"? ROTFLOL Maybe the person is like MY home, with 3 dogs over 130# that will literally tear an intruder to shreds...Can't wait to see the person's face when they come eye level with the 160# sleeping on the landing....Oh wait...Or will my dogs then be charged as "vicious" and killed because they accomplished their jobs LOL Wake up! It's time for REAL personal responsibility. NOBODY has the right to enter ANY other person's property without an invitation, locked or unlocked. The old saying, "If it's not yours, don't touch it" still applies.

Agreed. Just because a thief or vandal else clearly does wrong, does not mean the victim isRead More necessarily "right" or blameless. It also doesn't mean they have equal blame or most of it. Such black and white thinking on this board. Sometimes victims couldn't have done anything better. Sometimes we can all learn something from the situation...like locking things up and keeping valuables out of sight.

Today I would like to reflect on all the bright lights of Boston . The ones who comforted ,caressedRead More and carried others to safety. The ones who opened up their arms, their houses, their hearts to others. The ones who crossed the line in amazing times and the hundreds with amazing grace. The two young women who lit up their families lives with dreams for the future and one bright young man with wisdom beyond his years, "No more hurting people. Peace." They will shine forever in the hearts of Bostonians, Americans, and all human beings!
