The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer. It’s a chance to share news, a post to recap the past week on your blog, showcase books and things received, and share news about what is coming up on the blog for the week ahead. To get in on the Sunday funday, see the rules here: Sunday Post Meme. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This past week leads up to one of the biggest festivals in my hometown, with everything culminating on Saturday with a parade (over 100 entries), arts and crafts booths, amazing food, softball and volleyball tournaments, competitions and tons of other vendors. I’ve gone every year – including in the womb. This is when all of the classes have their reunions, and they always have a float in the parade. Last year three years ago (holy mole) my class had our 5 year reunion. We went all out with a flatbed 18 wheeler float complete with kiddie pools and water guns. I’ll be sharing more pictures later this week from this year’s festivities. 🙂
I also had my (unofficial) godson only one day this week. We got our summer on!

The festival sounds awesome! And how great to have such a set time for reunions and whatever. I imagine you get a pretty good turn out. Sounds like you had a nice day with your godson. Have a great week!
It’s so ironic that you say that, Katherine. The older classes (80s, early 90s) were the floats that had the most representation. My very pregnant aunt had her 13 year old and twin 8 year olds on the float with her. The class of 2005 and 2010 had maybe 30 people on their floats between the two of them. Thanks for stopping in!
I love local festivals with its arts & crafts and food but mostly because they build a sense of community. I hope you enjoy yours. I love your “Around Town in the Spotlight” feature I already see a few posts I want to visit. Tnaks for sharing and have a great week 🙂
Thanks! I wanted to give a place to share interesting blog and discussion posts, and since I imagine our niches in the blogosphere as little towns, it kind of made sense! I love festivals, too. They’re fun, you get a good variety of good food, hopefully live music, the crafts and artisan work. It’s awesome!
Sounds like a great festival!! Have fun!

Thanks, Heather! I think next year I might forgo and go to the Luling Watermelon Thump. I don’t know. Big decision!
