Kathy, I love local festivals and this sounds like a fun one! We're use to following turkey footprints around here (Go Hokies!)

Kathy, I'm definitely going to try to get there, and visit a friend in Georgina at the same time. Thanks for letting us know.

Kathy,

This certainly sounds like an intriguing festival to attend...I love the names they come up for these events. Very artistic and attractive!
I saw a Map Turtle today at a friend's cottage...a real one, that is.

Debbie - Growing up in what was then an agricultural community we used to look forward to the local fall fair ( just about the only festival type of venue around) As an adult with most of that farm land now covered with homes the types and number of events is endless.
