and the we found the elephant ear stand. Mind you, this was after the pulled pork sandwich and the sirloin tips. These were enjoyed while watching the free stage entertainment. But the elephant ear...oh my oh my oh my. Talk about mm mm good! I couldn't be photographed any more yesterday. I was in a sugar induced coma and left at the side of the road.
So to celebrate the last day of September, we set off to see a bit of the southern part of Indiana. We found this great little community called Hope. Isn't that a great name for a town? Apparently they wanted to be Goshen, but that name had already been taken. But I digress...Hope was having a fall festival. We showed up for the last hour and thought perhaps we would be left with the dregs of the party. But oh no! They were going strong. A great band was playing in the Gazebo, there were a ton of people everywhere, and there were lots and lots and lots of crafts booths.
Hope has an interesting museum...located in the park and dedicated to rural mail carriers! It's kind of a "walk around museum"...as in no entrance (which means no entrance fee and no open or closed hours) and just fascinating information. Here it is...
And in the crafts booths...my crazy third cousin "Sticks" Philbert decided he was tired of being naked. So he bought a Halloween outfit made for a yard goose. Now seriously folks--does anyone know a good tailor? Yard geese are bigger than yard phlamingos. But he HAD to have the witch costume. It just hangs on him. And he's a male phlamingo...
Well, the festival was winding down after we had been there about an hour, so we went exploring. We found a waterfall that wasn't really active this time of year. (It was a drought year, after all!) but it was a beautiful park. And "Sticks Philbert" decided to model his costume. What do you think about it?
And here he is in search of trick or treaters in Hartsville, Indiana...
Wonder what next weekend will bring? Till then....
Philbert
