Children of all ages came to the festival in full costume costume for trick-or-treating, pumpkin painting, hay wagon rides and the petting zoo. As an added treat Leonora Knight dramatized songs that celebrated books using the children as the main performers in her Halloween show.

There was music, food, children laughing, crafts and vendors of all types and lots of sunshine.

It was a wonderful festival. Continue reading to see a small part of the photos that I took on Saturday while I enjoyed the Balloon and Music Festival. Read the rest of this entry »
