The Potato Festival

Today I went to the Potato Festival in town. I went with a friend up the street. It was a beautiful day.

To update the blog I went to their website to see what I could learn about it and tell you about..... When I went to events, I got this message:

Schedule of Events
Coming Soon!

Well so much for that website.... .

The first thing that you see are signs - No Dogs Allowed.... The FIRST Booth was full of Great Danes. From the Great Dane Rescue Society...... Folks, It goes downhill from here.....


They did crown Ms. Tator Tot this morning and I wasn't there... Its for 6 and 7 year old, what an achievement. Miss Tator Tot. The dress code for the pageant? They had to dress in their best tator-picking attire!

The main thing that was the attraction was the cookoffs of "anything but potato"...... MMM...... maybe it's me, but something doesn't sound right... If you are having a Potato Festival, wouldn't everything be about Potatoes?

But it was fun. They did have about 20 booths and we walked through the street, and to the river and sat for awhile.

Ok This wasn't part of the Festival, but it's still pretty cool.
It has Lights on the side.

But who knows, It may of been Blackbeard's!
It even has a cup holder for the drink.

For all of you waiting on the update on Tom- He didn't go to the festival. He was spoiling the dog. Since the water was up today, the dog had to be lifted on the boat. For those who don't believe me when I say that Tom can't be out of the dog's sight, these pictures proves my point.

Notice that Tom is putting the dog on the boat, She is not facing him. Once she got on the boat she turns around and see how excited she is to see him?
