Great music / food / a very emotional tribute to those who gave their lives in Vietnam
2014, I spent the entire weekend at Mayfair in Allentown. This year I decided to split the coverage. When I saw the tribute to those who died in Vietnam, that pretty much decided to be at SteelStacks for Memorial Day. The article / photos / videos are in another article. I wanted to give you an idea of what it was like at SteelStacks in this one.
The photos covering the fence you can not miss. Over the weekend, a lot of people were not only looking as they walked past, but stopping at spots. This is a very moving part of the weekend. Also, inside ArtsQuest, there are slideshows on the TV screens by the restrooms with photos and names of people who protected our country.

BC Combo on Memorial Day
A combination of local / out of area / major recording artists was the other highlight! Orleans / BC Combo / Craig Thatcher and more gave a great variety of music for almost anyone.
I did not think that SteelStacks was a major event on Memorial Day weekend. 2015, I am very glad to have covered part of it. Between the music, memorial wall / slideshow and Vietnam memorial ceremony; I was wrong. If you are making plans to take a vacation next year on Memorial Day weekend, skip the beach. Make reservations at a hotel in the Lehigh Valley. Between Allentown / Bethlehem / Easton and surrounding towns, your family will have a great time. And be reminded of what the holiday is really about.
