Fall Fest Weekend

We went to two fall festivals this weekend and managed a good time even though the wind tried to blow our heads off.

The Roscoe Fall Wind Festival was a big hit. There was a silent auction, vendors, music, games and a busy concession area (nachos!) inside the community center.

The Wild Hog Fest was just changing speed when we got there. Most of the vendors were closing down and it looked like everyone was gearing up for the Hogg Maulies and Matt Martindale. I snapped a photo of one of the little feral pigs that the hog dealer had in a pen. He said that they can't buy any under 60 pounds, so they usually just let them go. I always kind of feel sorry for them when I see a bunch all caged up. Just be sure not to stick your hand in the cage, no matter how cute they look. Your fingers would be in danger of missing if you did that.
