More about the past weekend




Two of the assignments I shot this weekend, non sports related thank goodness, were kind of fun. The Herb and Art Fest, which is only a day-long "fest." I'm not quite sure if it qualifies it as a Festival, is there a time limit in order to be considered a Festival? If anybody has knowledge about this kind of thing please let me know. I also cruised on down to one of our MANY churches to photograph the pumpkin arrival. I love pumpkins, they're so cool. Did you know they are also known as a "winter squash?"


During the Herb and Art "Fest" I got to see just about the whole town, I think I just about visited with everyone I know, I barely had enough time to get the thing shot, but It's nice to be appreciated. There are some very interesting and hospitable individuals here, it makes living here tolerable. One person that caught my eye was a guy who was working the local Lions Club booth, Bob Richardson and his 11year old African Grey parrot named "Lucky." One of the other older gentleman working the both almost got slapped more than once because of Lucky's male-like behavior, he was whistling at all the pretty ladies as they passed by the booth. Those guys probably got tired of blaming it on the bird, kinda like blaming the dog for a room-clearing odor. You guys know what I mean.


The pumpkin thing was cool as well, the youth group kids didn't seem to think so since they had to help unload everything off a semi tractor trailer. The younger kids had a blast, the older group acted like they had better things to do. Welcome to the real world, THERE ARE ALWAYS BETTER THINGS TO DO!!!


Overall it was a very busy and productive weekend, can't wait for the next one.




Adios-
