Fall Festival 2011

Fall festival was really different this year.  I went Wednesday nite.  Connie came Thursday morning and Mary's didn't get to come until Friday noon. Jeanine came Thursday afternoon but didn't stay until Friday. so some of the things we had planned didn't happen but we still had a good time.  The weather couldn't have been any better.  Sunny warm days and cool clear nights. Doris Jean came Friday afternoon and we played some games.They came back Saturday night to listen to music but minus Dan  We did a lot of cooking in the Dutch ovens and everything we made was really good.We had to play the farmer's market on Saturday (more about that in another post). and then Dan got a bad migraine headache so was out of commission Saturday afternoon and night.   Sunday we decided to go to and 1895 barn in Milton that was giving tours.   It had been moved from north of Fairfield to Milton by the Amish piece by piece.  They had a collection of pedals cars and  old tractors and were doing demonstrations of cider making and barley winnowing.  The people were very nice and informative.   Katlin and Donnie enjoyed the tractors as you can see.  
I forgot my camera so all pictures are taken by phone.  And I didn't take many. But it was a nice way to pass the morning and no one except Donnie was in a hurry to go home. Mark and Penny rode down Sunday afternoon to visit. If the park people had been nicer it would have been nearly perfect.
