It's Carnival time!

A Fiddle Festival Weekend was scheduled in early August, but had to be rescheduled due to a death in a nearby village.

Mid August, the band arrived, with a country western beat where people could easily dance the popular two step.

During the day booths were set up, games were played, food was served, and prizes awarded.

These first shots were the Bubblegum Blowing contest starting with the youngers to the olders. I tried in the olders, but came in fourth......First through third were awarded prize money!

 These were the booths that had been constructed the night before. Eventually the whole area was filled with people. There was a raffle for a boat motor and boat. All money raised went to Search and Rescue.

All kinds of games were played.  The winners were given cardboard with 1, 2 or 3 on them and they took them to the prize booth for cash awards. All other participants were given choices in a prize box, so all came away with something.

Thank goodness for barbecues! Yum!

 People could even get cotton candy and snow cones!

 End of the day, a throwing party!
