East meets West meets North

After work on saturday, it was beautiful sunny. My hunny and I decided to take advantage of that by heading down to the East meets West meets North festival on West St. It has been going on a few years now and we try to go see the exhibits. It's a nice time, a sweet diversion from regular everyday summer life. Something to do.

No we did not bring the animals. Do I look that crazy? Not today... haha

There were exhibits by the Dept of Wildlife, giving away free seedlings and showing replicas of local wildlife/ natural resources. A company from here that makes pet treats (etc) had a booth and here is a link to their website: Valleyview Gourmet Treat Shop. I got an idea for making a dog bed. Lets see, who else was there. Newfoundland Chocolate Company Although we learned last year that we aren't huge fans of their treats. Still, support local! I was happy to see their display. Also, there was a local art show going on inside the church. Hunny and I actually really enjoyed looking at all the paintings. Some talented people shown, including some works of art by one of my aunts.

There were other displays too. Some had already packed it in, as we didn't arrive til almost 7pm on the last day of the event. Better late than never!

Hunny took my picture. I know, I'm a bit awkward. Can't help it. Not photogenic.

And the RNC horses were out around town during the festival! Very exciting. They are huge and beautiful. Absolutely gorgeous. Glad I had my camera to snap a photo for ya.

Most unpredictable part of the evening? Walking back to our car and finding this:

Hahaha.

Some of my hunny's family arrived in town late last night and I'm so happy to see them (and their new addition!). Will tell you all about it tomorrow. My hunny also got bad work news today, so he's pretty unhappy about that. Hopefully having extra family around this week will help cheer him up a little.
