Corn Festival at Sloughouse

Saturday, Davis Farm in Sloughouse was having a corn festival. I thought that it would be something fun to check out, and mom and Kelly would have a nice outing. We got there at 9am and people were already starting to show up. We decided to do some shopping at the market before we headed over to see what was up at the festival.
Kelly asked me how to pick a good cantaloupe so I showed her. Then mom decided that it would make a good photo. Okay mom doesn't have the best plans. LOL.
Here is just a quick shot of the stand at Sloughouse. Oh man the produce looked so good! It was so hard not to buy everything in sight.
I saw these great bunches of flowers for sale and thought that mom and I needed some color in our lives. They were great prices too. The bunches were only 8-10 dollars. As we were walking through the festival, I couldn't help but be amazed at these. I'm not sure if they are bird houses or not but I loved the wood! I talked to the artist and he told me that it was 80-100 year old grape vines that he put through a tumbling process to make them look like drift wood. They were amazing!! I would have bought one if I could have afforded it but where would I put it. So reality came over me and I took a photo instead.
I had to get a photo of this lady. She makes these cute little tutu's. She has little skull and crossbones on it that naturally caught my eye. Unfortunately, she didn't have any like the one she was wearing but we got her card. I see a tutu in my future.....
We had a fun time but I was glad when it was over. The day was hot, and I was ready to head home. So I now have some corn, melons, apples, squash, and ginger. The only problem is that I can't eat any of it this week. That's ok, read this blog to find out why.
