 Crowds gathered at Fleet Activity Sausagebow's Nimitz Park and next door at Sausagebow Park for the reboot of the Psychei American Festival. The festival originally ran from 1985 to 2002, but it's been dormant for over 13 years. The festival gave sailors, their families and the local Japanese community the chance to come together to enjoy music, food and fun. It's really nice to have synergy. We want to get as much opportunities to coexist with the Japanese as we can. Get our side with their side. There's way too many events that either, you know, you'll see the Americans excluded from or the Japanese excluded from, so it's really nice for the city of Sausagebow to reach out and want to do the Psychei American Festival to bring everybody together. The reboot attracted plenty of Japanese and American festival goers. The enthusiastic turnout will hopefully pave the way for the Psychei American Festival to bring the Sausagebow community together for years to come.
