The Hiddenite Festival of the Arts

I love fairs, and festivals, and tractor pulls, anywhere you can make fun family memories, and find great arts and crafts.  This past Saturday, Amanda and I took the kids to our local Hiddenite Festival of the Arts.  It's a nice festival, not real big so you're not out all day long, or being smushed by thousands of people.  But my very favorite part of the Hiddenite Festival is the live music, especially The Appalacian Steely Pan Steel Drum Band from Appalacian State University.
 We got there early to get a good seat, but as you can see, it's still hot here in North Carolina...poor Owen was turning red, but he loves music and refused to leave, lol.  So Aunt Hannah kept him supplied with snow cones.  As you can see, the benches fill up quickly, but the wait is worth it because this band puts on a great show.  Take a look.

I love how they get into it!
I'll be sharing more about this festival in the next few weeks...there was a lot of great booths there, and some really talented artists.
So take some time out from your hectic scheduale and visit a local arts and crafts festival near you.
Be blessed,
Debbi
