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!
