Throwback Thursday: The Hay Creek Festival - 2018



Another chilly fall day yesterday, but that did not stop us from attending the annual Hay Creek Apple Festival - besides, it didn't rain so we could live with it. This festival offers many things to do - historical sites, great homemade PA Dutch food, rides for the kiddies, and a rather large flea market.
The Historic Joanna Furnace ...
The excavation area ...

This barn showcases technology before the Industrial Revolution ...

A miniature railroad train display ...

Pony rides for the kids ...

and tractor trailer car rides as well ...

 PLENTY of goodies to see and buy at the flea market ...
I always make sure to bring home some delicious homemade chocolate from Lorah's Handmade Chocolate Company ...
A really awesome Greek Goddess tin for only $2.00!!! It represents Demeter, Persephone, Hestia, Artemis, Hera, Rhea, Athena, and Aphrodite.  
And also a cute Halloween flag for only $5.00.

Some yummy good PA Dutch cuisine for dinner ...
Everything from hot fresh kettle popcorn, apple dumplings and crisps, apple fritters, funnel cakes, and freshly cooked homemade soups such as chicken noodle, ham and bean, and vegetable soups.

A sausage sandwich with tomato sauce.

I am glad we had the chance to go this year. It is always a good time at this festival!!

  3. Looks like a fun place. I can almost smell the food. Oh, the littles in the barrels always crack me up. Whoever thought of that for a ride is so clever. Have a great weekend!
