Our little town has an annual community celebration and more often than not we don’t go. But after a year of hermit like Covid living, travel plan cancellations and avoiding large indoor crowds… an outdoor festival seemed perfect.
.
.
There was live music.
.
.
And the prerequisite ugly craft displays. Bird baths made from repurposed antique glass? I’m picturing myself scrubbing the poo out of all those grooves. Hard pass.
.

The husband lost me for a half hour at the library book sale. A dollar a book and we had to make two trips to the car.
.
.
There was a tiny petting zoo.
.
.
With bad hair day inhabitants.
.
.
We bought ducks for the derby.
.
.
But our sorry ass quacks were almost dead last.
To be continued….
.
They always toss in a wringer for the duck race.

Nothing worse than a shifty rubber duck.

I’d take any outing given to me at this stage. A dinky town fair would feel like going on a holiday to me.

I have a number of sites I have to sign into, including occasionally this one. I cannot figure out any rhyme or reason for it. Much too sub-limn.

How fun! I love Alpacas! They are awesomely strange creatures! And I would have been with your husband, buying out the books.

No, that was me. He wandered off the minute I started browsing books.

I just love these kinds of events, with or without the recycled glass bird baths. I miss going to these, my home town does one every year but with COVID it’s been postponed until further notice…ugh.

Ours was cancelled last year but Maine has good vaccination rates and my town is 82% so they decided it was safe.

Small town outdoor festivals are the best! You can always count on at least one clever sign ala KenDucky Derby. Not to mention the actual KenDucky Derby…

The ducks are usually ceremoniously dumped off the bridge for a spectacular river entrance…. But the bridge is currently being over hauled so it was a gentle float to start.
