Marigold Festival

We went to the Winterville Marigold Festival with Katie, Ella and Hank today.  When we first got there we saw what we thought was the parade which was a total of a fire truck and a couple other cars and that was it.  It is a small town but we questioned are you kidding me was that their parade?  We walked into "downtown" Winterville, and snickered as we passed their Police Station and City Hall which consisted of two small houses converted into city buildings.  We were pleased that we saw the tail end of the parade, it was quite long and entertaining.  No marching bands though which was a bummer.  Alexis and Ella got their face painted.  We ate some fair type food including deep fried pickles which are really good!  We saw a kids concert and the kids danced.  They played on the play ground.  We had a picnic lunch and then it was time to go home.  The kids were all tired and crabby.  It took all of 5 minutes in the car and both of my kids were passed out asleep.  It was a fun day!
