I have been trying to work really hard at making sure that we have some fun together as a whole family. It has been more difficult as Mary gets older but it is still important. Yesterday was one of those days. As I had blogged on Saturday, we love festival season and try to partake in them as we can. Yesterday, we went to the Spoonbread festival in Berea.
We arrived just in time to find a good place to watch the parade and found a front row seat underneath a shade tree. We watched the crowd and goings on around us as we waited. The parade was definitely a small town parade. All of the local police agencies and firetrucks were represented. There were the typical campaign floats along with old cars, trucks and tractors. A motorcycle club also participated. Of course we saw the local horse club and myriad of beauty queen contingents. The most unusual thing that we saw was the line of old hearses that had been restored by a local funeral home. There were probably 6-8 of them including an old time ambulance equipped with working siren.
After the parade, we walked around and looked at all the booths. There were plenty of different arts and crafts that are
always fun to look at. There were the political booths and all the local service organizations giving out there goodies with their names on it. We ended our time there at the local food booths with all our favorite novelties. My husbands was the fried Twinkie and the girls enjoyed splitting a funnel cake. I had a pulled pork sandwich. We began and ended our day listening to a variety of local musical artists. Fun day all in all.

I would encourage you to check out your local festival schedule, find one that looks intriguing and enjoy a day visiting all the fun things that it has to offer. Happy festival hopping!
