Fall Festivals

We went to Glendale Crossing Days to enjoy their fall festival and realized that it was a very big event.  This usually very small town (smaller than Hope) was covered on all sides with booths and vendors.  We like to wander around these flee market style events.  Occasionally we even buy something... like kettle corn.  Grandpa Jenkins and Grandma Jane came to join us for the marathon of crafts.  There were over 500 booths, and there were over twenty thousand visitors.  We walked and talked until we dropped.  No real bargains but beautiful weather and great company.

This sign is on the edge of town about a 1/4 of a mile form the train track and a restaurant called the Whistle Stop Cafe.  The booths extended past this sign for another 1/4 mile.  Lots of exercise!


Tyler joined us and Adam deserted us for part of the day.
Beth wandered around with her 'granny' and aunts who were visiting.



 The Amish community that is just south a few miles brought baskets and quilts.  It was beautiful handiwork.

The old Massey Ferguson tractor ran the ice cream churn, it was a 5 gallon churn! 

Fall festivals have a way of bringing back simple pleasures of good food and family fun.
