Yesterday we all went to the Jay Walker’s Festival in a town close to our village. It was very similar to a fair our old home town had every yeard called the Abbotsford Berry Festival. Both my husband and I grew up going to this downtown festival. I loved it. My favorite was local corn on the cob and smoked salmon. Not to mention all the berries and ice cream you could eat. There was the prerequiste local dancers doing their thing and of course a seniors banjo band to play the day away. There was over priced rides which were much more fun at night with the lights lit up. It was just alot of fun to see your down town transformed into a carnival atmosphere.
How lucky were we to discover a simialr event in our own new back yard! We strolled around the tables, looking at the wares. We snacked on food cooked by the local Lion’s club. We listened to a young women who sounded alot like Jewel. The kids didn’t make it on a ride. It was a little over our budget yesterday…and I have a fear of rides that are taken down and reassembled in a twenty-four hour period. The kids had a great morning and so did I. I am looking forward to next years event now. Nice to start making memories with our own children, even though we aren’t in our old town.
