Lil' Dude was exciting and positive

The special invited Lil' Dude was so positive. This 9 year old rapper and spoken word artist even was selling his CD at the event. I was so impressed by his stage performance. All the kids seem to enjoy his show because afterwards, I saw him signing autographs. It was good to see so many kids come together for something positive like this. I was super impressed to see such a young entertainer such as Lil' Dude trying to do some positive entainment instead of all this negative rap in stuff we always see. The Summer of Peace Rally was definitely a success in my book. Keep up the good work everyone.
