The fair is this time every year. We got there ten minutes before opening, and there were already a bunch of people and lots of kids.
The local community bell. Every little burg up here has one.
Lemurians made that honey.
There was live music. In this case the B String Band and Mom, A home schooled family of nine kids, with their own family band. Country, Gospel and Blue Grass, and they were not too bad at all. I found myself singing along, to the huge embarrassment of Mrs. CW and the Icelandic Daughter.
There is of course a monastery deep up in the woods, dangerously near Mt. Lassen. They make and sell bees wax candles and honey. Pretty cool!
Of course, there are apples. We got a nice bag of Spitzenbergs, and a baked apple pie.
Great rural/small town fun. We'll be back next year for sure.
I wonder if the monks make Mead too?
ReplyDeleteLittle mountain community...wonder why nearly everyone is fat? Strange...
ReplyDeleteThere is no advert for honey on their website.
ReplyDeleteTry the Monk's honey.

I wouldn't have left the Manton Apple Festival without a jug from the Monks and the Lemurians both. Yummy.
Many thanks for this CW. The Fall Fairs are all big events here in the Ottawa Valley. It's nice to see the kids raised on local farms showing their animals, vegetables, baked goods and crafts. Also nice to see the Bros. of St. John Orthodox featured. The Fall Fairs are something we do not celebrate enough. Steve_in_Ottawa.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun!!! I participated in a weekly farmers market in my community selling my hand-made functional pottery. I love meeting and greeting the locals.
ReplyDeleteThat's America right there! Great pics, CW, and thanks for taking us along!
