So Friday night my friend Veronica and I went out to Firefighters Night for the Apple Blossom Festival. It was super fun...We drank, we mingled, we had a good time :) It's SUPER crowed. The parade is really long, it's a bunch of firetrucks and rescue squads and loaded with good-look'n guys in uniform!!! Jepp Robertson and his wife, from Duck Dynasty were the stars of the show. The parade is great for kids.
The mid-way though....is mostly for adults. Which is why I left my kid at home, and finally had a grow-up day!! Woo!! The mid-way is a pedestrian mall downtown. It's on the parade route. It has lots of bars. The prices are jacked up, but it's once a year right?? Anyway, we had a great time!!
Tip: Bring cash, ID, and wear comfy shoes! You'll be walking a lot!
Here's me and Veronica:
We skipped Saturday's festivities (that's the next post!).
Sunday, Bailey, my friend April and me went to the Bluegrass Festival!!
My beloved Steeldrivers were there <3. They are the most humble and down to earth you'll ever meet.
They sell their own merchandise lol They take pictures with everyone who wants one, and they're just really nice. Oh, and their music is AWESOME.
The other two bands was a gospel quartet. The lady sounds a lot like Tanya Tucker. The other was the Grascals who are also amazing!
There were three bands. They each played two sets. Tickets for adults were $25 each, 12 and under were free. It is well worth the money!! They had a 50/50 raffle and a Fender Banjo raffle!
The Steeldrivers with my son, Bailey!!! This made his day!!!
These tasty HUGE thing of bacon cheese fries from the food truck made him happy too :)bacon
I won that banjo raffle!!!!!! Now I need to learn to play it!
Love the Bloom <3
Tips: Bring a jacket, a seat cushion, cash, and wear comfy clothes. They had a a nice cafe type table set up with scones, coffee, drinks, baked goods, sandwiches...good stuff!!
The bands were selling tshirts and CD's.
There was a little farmers market type table set up (mmm tomatoes!)
Food truck outside selling hot food. I think it was Country something....Great BBQ and hot dogs!
The bathrooms were the big porta-potties on top of a flatbed truck/trailer thing...they weren't bad. Coming from me, that's a lot (public bathroom phobia) lol.
I believe they were even selling beer :)
It was a great time! If they have good bands again next year, I'll be there :)
