Corn Festival

If you judge by how many cars there were and how loud and long the music played, the Corn Festival a couple of weeks ago was a success.

The sweet corn, as advertised, was at its best. Tomatoes were ripe and wonderful. Bell peppers were huge, thick, and crunchy. There were still snow peas, black eyed peas and green beans. The melons were coming in. The gals at the counter spent long days helping people with their produce.

? and Mari

I'll check on Mari's friend's name, I see her every day but I'm having a senior moment. I think she needs an apron with her name on it.

I carefully examined all the stuff at all the booths and found these two items to be the most and the least expensive.

Cow skull plastered with turquoise $500, something everyone needs.

You don't need this if you have an "outie."

The ladies who sell fairy outfits for little girls were back. It amazes me that people buy this stuff. I call it butt fluff, like on a Cochin chicken.

Butt Fluff, low-slung "plumber" style.

At the other end of the class scale was the hat man. I know guys must buy hats because they see how great this fellow looks and want to look like him. In England this hat might be handy to keep the rain off, Mr. Pudding needs one of these when he hikes around his neighborhood.

There were decorated flower pots, decorated t-shirts and sweat shirts, decorated knick knacks and doodahs. There were even some nicely decorated people.

Dream time for little girls

And lots of people took their kids on the tractor ride out to the fields.

The most fun I had at the Corn Festival was visiting with people who stopped by, including my newest relative, Charley.
