There are so many good tings about this festival, that I can't pick one picture or name one event that sticks out in my head as the very best. I do know that I did enjoy how families came together and enjoyed time together and how most of them allowed me to photograph them.

Many of the various vendors did an overwhelming job of keeping their booths tidy while hundreds of people passed through. The talents of these folks and the fact that they are willing to share them are a big reason why the Festival is such a success.

I truly did enjoy watching the demonstrators with the children. They have a tremendous amount of patience and encourage children to do their best and to be themselves. What a treasure and a wonderful opportunity for our young people to participate in something so wonderful...and for free!

I am so looking forward to next year that I can hardly wait. While this is my first time taking pictures for such a fun event, I think the moments captured speak for themselves. Enjoy the photos as I share them over the next couple of weeks! I know I will!

Let's forget our woes of the Day!

Nothing compares to the beauty of a Hometown Festival. We had many participants in the Booth Decorating Contest and while there were many beautiful entries, Glenda Pope won First Prize of $125. Her booth definitely gave us all "Something to Crow About"!!!

Tres Markham helped the vendors find their way into the Festival. He worked hard for several hours and then took a seat at our photo opportunity. He graciously allowed me to take his picture. Thanks for all of your help, Tres!

Many folks enjoyed the ability to express themselves on our board of creativity in the Arts and Crafts section of the Festival. There were kids of all ages writing, laughing, drawing, thinking and just having fun!

And lastly, there sits mom and daughter, Abbey and Heidi, resting from their day of running, jumping, screaming, smiling, rolling, riding and excitement. They are pooped and ready for the short ride home. I'll bet when they come back, they will do the same things all over again and have just as much fun!

It is here!

Have you ever heard the saying "If you build it, it will come?" Well, at last, the Foothills Fall Festival is here! I see the tents and I see some of the vendors...so, I know the "IT" is the folks like me who can't wait to get to where the action is and the fun begins.

I am sure this year will bring so many good times! I hope to see you there...and don't forget to put on a smile, because I will be taking lotsa pictures and you might be in some of them!

Oh yeah! Don't forget to stop by our photo opportunity in the Arts and Crafts section of our Festival! It is Something to Crow About!
