Parting Shots of the Black Walnut Festival

This is the last posting on this year’s festival. Notice that the photo above shows a real carnival in Spencer. You folks will probably remember my blog that was posted in June when the carnival arrived in our hamlet of Glenville. It was really a poor showing for a carnival. You will notice these folks actually have a merry-go-round and a Ferris wheel!

The agricultural exhibits were held in the community building at Heritage Park. The 4-H and FFA projects and flower show were located here this year.




Mom and Louise manned the St. Johns Methodist Church's booth and they sold goodies such as cookies, cakes, candy, and pies.



Here is sister Judy and granddaughter Rachel.



Here are a few other photos taken around Spencer on Friday.



Wait! I have to show you the Eastern Star booth at the National Guard Armory. The armory was the location of the crafts, art show, and quilt show. Yes, there is Judy and Bill selling their wares. Knives, cookbooks, and baked goodies were available for sale. Bill indicated that the rum cake ($11) was wonderful, but one should not drive after eating a piece!

Yep- black walnuts were imported from the midwest! What has happened to all those folks who would bring in the nuts, shell them, and them crack. LABOR INTENSE! We old timers would have walnut stain on our hands for three months and we used high tech to shell the suckers. Run them over again and again with wheels from the car.
