Weekend before last, we went to the annual Harvest and Craft Faire at C-Man and JuJu's school. It is one of my favorite events. So refreshingly old-fashioned.
At the welcome desk, we were greeted with a cup a freshly-pressed apple cider (made from apples donated from a local farm) and each child is given a sweet little package of seeds (harvested from the school garden and packaged by the third and sixth grade classes).
There were also these cute little handmade necklaces for the children to wear. (And yes, those are little freaking gourds!)

There was lots of good homemade food.....chili (vegetarian, natch, and a version with grassfed beef, also natch), cornbread, burritos, quesadillas, good fair-trade coffee and tons and tons of cookies, bars, pies and cakes.

There was a highly-anticipated puppet show performed by two of C-Man's teachers.

There were booths set up with crafts, activities and demonstrations. Here is C-Man checking in on the blacksmith demonstration.

There was time to play games on the field (a favorite was a tug-of-war between the kids and adults).

And of course, bebe was there, taking it all in. Have I mentioned she is walking?!
