Sep. 27, 2009 - Settler's Festival - September 27, 2009 (lots of pictures) #1
Today after church, which I will say was a great sermon - and one to which the seeker friendly churches would deem terrible. After church my daughters, a friend and her son went to lunch in a little mom and pop diner in the small city of Cedarville and then we went to the Settler's Festival. This is sort of like the Fair at New Boston but there weren't the stringent rules on costumes and tents so some volunteers would be wearing tennis shoes or were without their modesty pieces (the item that resembles a shawl worn about the shoulders to cover any skin exposed by the blouse) I am so happy about the learning trips we've been able to do this year and fairly close to home as well. The Settler's Festival was completely free including all the crafts that the children and I got to do - this isn't offered at the other fair - and the girls liked it much better. That is the one thing I would change is that the Fair at New Boston would offer more for the children like free hands on crafts and such - especially for the price for admission. Take for instance the wagon ride ($3.00 for children $5.00 for adults) and free at the Settler's Festival. Anyway, on to the Settler's Festival today.....

What a fabulous field trip, and the free part made it all the better! It looks like the weather was decent, too. I'm glad you all had such a great time.
