Appleumpkin Festival 2009, The Fur Kids

The fur kids of all sizes and makes come out in search of the Appleumpkin.  There are always a lot of fur kids attending this festival, here are a few, missed a great looking dalmation that strolled by while changing the camera batteries.

Above:  Isn't this just the sweetest face?

Above:  Saw these two gentle well behaved kids several times during the day.

From the large to the small:

This is not a Maltese, and it is not spoiled or loved much either.  LOL

A whole basket full of fur:

No, not real puppies.  Saw these, then 1 minute later saw the cutie above. 

I think I like the cutie above better, how bout you?

And, my favorite of the day, because of her story.

This darling little girl is a long haired chiwawa. She was rescued from a home this past summer.  This little girl (on the left) was adopted just 2 weeks ago and is making a great adjustment to her new home.  She is about a year old and gets along very well with her older brother.  Older brother had just lost 2 siblings.  While Man and I stood and chatted with the gentleman who owned them she was attentive, but not one bit nervous or skittish. She looked like she had been riding in her stroller for ever, obviously she knew good thing when she found it.  She is a very lucky little girl, she picked a nice new home to live in.  

Appleumpkin Festival 2009

Applewhat???  Appleumpkin, a fall festival with a catchy name.

Any good festival worth its name has lots and lots of vendors.  This one does too.  Crafts and artists, galore.  Need Dish?? Saw several vendors if you do.  Even homesforourtroups.org was present, a group that builds homes for our disabled veterans.

And, ya GOTTA have a way to vent frustrations and destroy cars, all in the name of charity, but of course.

And of course, lots and lots of food, ya, there is Man, ordering food.  We actually split a pulled pork sandwich, mmmmmm good.

This year there was even a magician, must have been a good trick, the young lady (to the left, just can see her face) has that look of amazement and delight on her face.

A local resident??

There were lots of carnival rids, music and entertainment.  A ride to the local apple orchard will delight with more vendors, craftsmen, and to die for apple goodies, betcha can smell the cinnamon and apples now, can't ya??

*Stay tuned for the fur kids of Appleumpkin
