Is your town like Fool's Gold?

One of the Cheerleaders, Dyan, said my town sounds like Fool's Gold.  I took my kids, my friend & her kids to a parade for our Fireman.  It is done every year.  Fire Departments can come from a distance.  This parade can be 2-3 hours depending how many Fire Departments are in it along with EMS, Police, and other different things.  Lowe's was there handling out their fire truck kits.  The kids will be building them with their dad.

I started thinking that yes, my town does sound like Fool's Gold.  In the Spring, we have Kaleidoscope Arts Festival, which I have never gone to, but I will have to check it out. 

In our Downtown area, they shut down a side street so they could have Friday Night Concerts.  Not sure what else they do in that area.

This weekend is the Jeep Festival where all the Jeep owners shows off their Jeeps.  It is in 2 different locations.  I don't know much about this Festival since I have not gone to it, but I think their Jeeps do get dirty!!

I took the kids to a Kids Day.  It was where our Farm Show is handled.  The kids had a lot of fun.

We have A Big Fair every July.  We also have a Farm Show every August.  My grandfather used to have his horses pull in a contest there.  He spent so many hours training his horses and traveling around to different Farm Shows in our area.  We also have The Lake's Regatta, too, in August.  I love taking the kids to that especially if they set up the Hot Air Balloons! 

In the Fall,there is a Farm Tour.  In the Downtown area, we have a Fall Festival where there are a lot of vendors with tons of food and things they sell.  The main street is closed off.

How is your town like Fool's Gold?  I would love to hear it.

Fool's Gold Festival

Throughout Susan Mallery's Fool Gold's series, we hear a lot about the Festivals that the town has.  On Susan's Website, she has a schedule for the Festival.  Click Here to see it.

What Festival would be your favorite?  


I am not sure which one would be my favorite.  Spring Festival sounds like so much fun!  4th of July Festival or Summer Festival?  I know I would love the Book Fair.  I would love to meet my favorite author, but her book signings are not near me!  Maybe 1 day.  I would love Dog Days of Summer, too.  Who wouldn't want to show off their dogs?  I could see Zeus having a lot of fun meeting other dogs, which has he not done much of, but he would love to meet other people & kids!!  Zeus loves to get attention & give kisses to kids.  Bolt would love it, too, because he is so cute!  Everyone would want to pet him!!  


End of Summer Festival sounds like fun, too.  My kids would love the Fall Festival & Halloween Party!!  I could see the kids in their costumes for the Halloween Party. See I am not sure which would be my favorite.  Can you choose just 1?


Wouldn't it be nice to go to one & see some of the town people you know?  Can you imagine it?  Walking through the Festival, passing the hot dogs.  I can smell the hot dogs from a walking distance away.  Then, I ran into Denise  Hendrix.  I ask her how all her kids & grandkids are.  Denise wants to know how you are doing & how the kids are.  You say your good-byes.  I pass some more vendors!  Mayor Marsha comes over to chat with you.  Welcoming you to Fool's Gold!  She wants me to know if there is anything she can do to let her know.  She wanted to know how the kids were & your 2 huskies, but your huskies were not with us.  How did she know?


I think all of these festival would be in our routine!  It is a way to get to know the town, the people, & get out of the house.  Plus enjoy the weather.  The town people already know who you are so why not get out & find out who they are!


What Festival is your favorite?  Tell me!
