One of the many reasons I love the season of Fall so very much, Mabon and Samhain not withstanding of course, is the fact that there is always so much to do! Around here, there are plenty of fun and exciting activities to attend. We have a couple of great local Apple Festivals, Shocktoberfest, the Celtic Classic, the Ren-Faire's Celtic Fling, and this weekend is the Hay Creek Valley Festival at Joanna Furnace ~ a wonderful historical site which offers lots of fun and interesting activies throughout the year and most especically over the holidays.
Apples, homemade apple dumplings, apple cider, apple butter, candied apples ... apples, apples, apples! There were so many activities to enjoy for both kids and adults, great food and beverages, awesome flea market, historical demonstrations, and much, much more ...
Hay Rides
Tracker Pull Rides for the kiddies!
Creating and stuffing scarecrows
The escavating area
The Joanna Furnace ...
And of course I couldn't resist the GREAT buys at the Flea Market. Everything I bought ranged from $1.00 up to $8.00 each ...
All sorts of handmade crafts ...

ReplyDeleteReceived your package today and had no more opened it than Blue absconded with his wee mousie; Harry and Connelly in close pursuit. Next thing you know, they're on the side deck and passing the mouse from paw to paw while snacking on Cheetos. ;-)At least I was able to hold onto the candles and adorable card; thank you so much!
A wonderful festival indeed. The old building is absolutely beautiful, I love the windows. There is nothing more divine than an autumn faire!
