Scarecrow Festival

Hello! Fall has Arrived!!!  EEEEeeeeee!!   

Every year, for the past 20 some years, the small town of Wanatah, Indiana, holds it's annual Scarecrow Festival.  It's an easy going place of good food, friends and entertainment!


Jean and I brought our bikes, and rode up and down all the streets of Wanatah.  I think we got about 1.2 miles in that evening!  Lol, it wasn't far.  We had fun admiring the décor though.


After bike riding, Jean and I browsed the vender booths.  Sophie stayed home, but I found a boutique just right for her!  The dog clothes were sooo cute!  


The Nut Hut, has been a favorite place of mine from the beginning; roasted cinnamon pecans are the best ever!  They did have some competition for me this year though, as I tried to purchase a cup of the best smelling soup ever, from another vender.  The soup that looked like chicken broth, but smelled like heaven, wasn't for sale.  In fact, it turned out to be a crock pot full of melted butter for dipping sweet corn in.  Sigh.


The entertainment tent had an awesome singer and band prior to the Merchants' Give-away.  Jerica Paliga is the singer.  She will be famous soon!  ;-)



THEN-- The Moment we have all been waiting for--  The Merchants' Giveaway!!!  This is the only place I know where you can win a life time supply of aluminum foil!!!  I know, cause I have won it, circa 2000.

 

This year, I won Blueberry Jam!  The next morning I tried it on pancakes, and it is the best blueberry jam I have ever had!



Sylvester was chasing this spider outside!  I think it is a wolf spider.  One of many I have noticed around the yard!
