Only the curious have something to find


I'm a huge fan of festivals and this weekend i went to the Apple Harvest Festival at Windy Hill. Besides it being unseasonably cold for October, we had a big time. There wasn't much to do, but i think that's the point of a festival. I had baked apple pie and a sippy cup of apple juice. There was an acoustic band and a hayride. And kids and dogs and goats and chickens running around in the pumpkin patch. A festival says a lot about where it's located. In Gaffney we have the Peach Festival every July and our claim to fame is the Tractor Pull. This shouldn't surprise you. I really love everything about the Peach Festival, including Peach Beach and especially the Peach Parade. Rock Hill's Come See Me festival is my favorite thing about Spring in Rock Hill. Cowpens has the Mighty Moo Festival, which i still haven't actually seen anything happen there.

If you were to host a festival, what would it be? I think mine would be a shagging and fried foods festival. There are probably about a million of those in South Carolina, i've never been to one. One day when i'm rich i'll tour the country attending fairs and festivals to see what i can find.
