Lisa and I went to two fall festivals yesterday. We first drove to Del Rio, TN to go to Del Rio Days. It was the 29th Annual Del Rio Days and also Cocke county's last fall fest for 2014. Del Rio Days was held at the Jones Nature Center and featured live music, country crafts, food, fun and contests. We did not spend too much time at Del Rio Days because we had seen most of the booths from the three other fall festivals we attended the last three weeks. It was a good one we just got there early, there were no crowds yet, so we were able to see everything quicker.
After we left Del Rio Days we headed to Morristown, TN to attend Mountain Makins Festival. It is the 39th annual fall festival in Morristown and was held at the Rose Center, an 1892 school that is now Morristown's cultural arts center and historical museum. Mountain Makins is a week end for life festival celebrating the traditions of Appalachia through music, dance, fine arts, crafts, storytelling, demonstrations, children activities, food and more. It was well attended and we payed an entrance fee to get in. The demonstrations were interesting, the crafts were incredible and we got some Christmas shopping done! Our neighbor, Cheryl, had a booth and does some incredible wood working. I bought a piece for someone for Christmas. Hmm, I wonder who?
We had a great day and then Lisa and I came home, grabbed our laundry and headed to the launder mat in Parrottsville. We had put off the laundry long enough. I know, what a way to end a fun filled day! I did come home to a really nice surprise but you will have to wait and check back tomorrow to see what it was. Thanks Lisa for a nice day together and thanks Tim and George for my surprise!
