(Non) Scarecrow festival...

We drove to Kaufman for their annual Scarecrow Festival today. Not a big drive...only 9 miles south. Surprised to see there wasn't a single scarecrow to be found. I seriously may write a letter to the Chamber of Commerce to suggest they maybe decorate with a couple in the future just for kicks.

The main square was lined with booths for crafts, antiques, city businesses, churches, and food vendors. But on one of the side roads they also had BMXers on ramps for a bit when we first arrived. They had the typical group of bounce houses which we didn't participate in. Fender and I did ride the elephant. And we stopped and bought 3 balls each for Fender and Daddy to throw in the bucket to try and win a prize. Well, Fender with his left handed pitch...landed two balls in and won himself a soft plush basketball. Drew's all bounced back out so we were excited Fender did so well on his own. That was a lot of fun.

We also enjoyed some delicious BBQ Grilled Cheese sandwiches from one of the booths. And fresh lemonade to wash it down. The sandwich had Gouda and Swiss cheese with BBQ brisket. Then we took a rare excursion to Brahms for ice cream when we got back to town. It was a pretty great day!
