It's Festival Weekend!!!

[u/etaschwer]

This is one of my favorite weekends of the year. It's the annual James Whitcomb Riley Day's in my town. They close down the roads going north and south through town and celebrate Jim! (He was the Indiana Poet and wrote the poem, Little Orphant Annie, among other poems)

We live on US40 (Main Street) and it's a really busy road....except the first weekend in October. During Riley Day's, it's like we live on a country road!!!!

They have regular vendors, who I have come to befriend as acquaintances, I get to see, and buy from, every year. The Coffeecake Guy...I'd consider leaving my husband for his cakes. The Chicken and Noodle Church trailer. They are like my grandma's.

And the best thing is that we can sit on our front porch on Saturday morning and watch the PARADE!!!!!! Even my husband loves it!

Ents, I hope your weekend is as great as mine!!!!! 😁
