Autumn Leaf

Every year, my hometown has a festival called Autumn Leaf Festival. The dates of the festival coincide with the Local University's Homecoming Football Game. Some of the highlights of the festival are a craft show on Friday and the big parade on Saturday. This year I was able to attend the craft show (with no kids!) and the rest of the family came up for the parade on Saturday. The photo above is of the craft show. They close down main street and vendors set up on both sides of the street for many blocks. As you can see it gets very crowded and since the weather was beautiful (even though it was a little hot) the crowds were larger.


On Saturday, they have a parade. The girls really enjoyed the parade because they throw candy along the route to all the children. We came prepared with bags to hold all the candy. E. was very funny because she was very particular on what kind of candy she kept. If she didn't like it, she would lay it back on the street or put it in M's bag. It was too cute.

Below are other various shots of the girls enjoying the parade.
