The Back Woods Fest (I know another adventure so soon)

I know,  I said I would show you what I bought at the Country Living Fair.  I will,  I promise.  Trust me I wasn't a big spender.
A good friend of mine went with me to the Back Woods Fest today.  I haven't been there for awhile.  They have all kinds of good old fashion food and lots of outdoor booths.  We didn't buy one thing.  It took 2 hours to get there by car.  It should have only been 30 minutes but traffic was so backed up.  I have never seen such a line.  We had to walk and walk to get in.  We walked the whole lot and just didn't see anything that we thought we should buy.  Lots of wooden Halloween things.  I mean lots.  No vintage like things like last week.  I saw a cute bear and owl out of wood that were for outside but I won't need those when we finally move.  (No offers but a couple of showings)  I saw the cute stone houses like the one I have.  I think it was the same person that I bought mine from.  I haven't been able to find them since.  Prices were reasonable.  I have seen similar for tons of money.  I did see these miniature paper houses that were on a chain as a charm.  Those were cute but I didn't price them.  When it came to eating,  good golly there were lines 50 people deep.  We went to one line that was almost empty  It was a "meatless"  stand.  After many questions about what they had,  I ordered something I thought was gluten free.  They had fried eggplant, salads in flour tortillas, every thing was dipped in batter.  I ordered sliced tomatoes and mozzarella.  So it comes out they were fried tomatoes with the cheese in between.  I don't even like tomatoes raw.  Oh my gosh it was delicious.  Like little sandwiches, we'll see if my belly survives.  I had the same problem last week.  The only thing I could have were the French fries.  I guess I will have to pack snacks the next time.  It's hard being gluten free.
I don't know why Dorothy and the Tin Man were there.  They looked a bit out of place.  But here are the pictures I took.  Except for the one of me.  My friend told me to stand by Dorothy to get a picture for my blog.  So, will I go back next year.  Nope.  Glad I went and had a great time just being with my friend.  But I guess I am just spoiled by the other events I go to.

 

 

Okay the tin man is okay, but Dorothy???/  She had red high heels on.  She's also very tall.

 

I told you it was crowded.

 

 

 

I think the last time I went here I bought one of these dolls.  They are so cute but not nearly as nice as the ones Pat C. of All is Bright makes. 

This was funny.  An umbrella with a tutu and witches legs hanging out.  Strange but different.

Here are the houses.  I can't remember what they call the stone/cement mixture  (hypertula, something like that) they make them with   Now these all had colors on the doors and I like them better without the colors.

A true artist at work.  There is old fashioned entertainment and some dress pioneer style.  I know some go just for the food and the entertainment.  I saw so many people with arm loads of the wooden scarecrows and other big outdoor items so I guess some really liked what they had.
For that long wait, we could have driven to the Springfield Vintage Market place, it's going on this week-end too.
But all in all, the company of my sweet friend was enough enjoyment for me.
Have a nice week-end.
