Lets brush all those chimneys.

To finish up about the Sweeps Festival in Rochester. Firstly how amazing that Gordon Newton would research and bring back to life this festival taking forth his idea to the Midway Council now who run it. I have to question if other historians did this how much more history would be kept and preserved for generations to come. Perhaps instead of computers on all the time our lives would be so much more richer with knowledge of where we came from. The most famous sweeps dance that I ever remember is that of Dick Van Dyke who starred in Mary Poppins as Bert. Perhaps in truth this dance was taken from the origins of the Sweeps Festival.

Lets hope that more people like Gordon Newton grace our history books to leave a new chapter of the past for our children and their children to come.
