The Kutztown Folk Festival is over and I survived! The show was great, and the weather cooperated for the most part. I kept forgetting to take my camera to the show, but I finally remembered the last day. This is Jenna, who has demonstrated for me many years. (I didn't get a photo of my other demonstrator Carrie.) As soon as she lights the torch, a crowd forms to watch. The "steam engine" comes by once a day or so, and is fun to watch. I didn't get a photo of the calliope.
The food is legendary! Lunch on Sunday was a corn pie, one of my favorites!
There is Michael Mootz fudge, which I had to finish because I didn't want to bring it home. At least that is what I told myself. I also had an ice ream sandwich, which was made with fresh waffles. There were also funnel cakes, bratwurst, pork bbq.... I ate good! The PA Dutch are not known for being slim!
Wind is always a problem for me, so everything is clamped or tied down. I am careful what I store under the tables- any paper has to be placed where it won't get wet. I have been in the same spot for years, so I know what direction the wind and rain blows.Many people bring their dogs to the show, but this is the first time I have seen a horse!
All in all, it was a very successful show! My dutchy clothes will be packed away for another year.

I really need to make a point to get up there next year. Maybe do a weekend (mid-week) trip to the area… My PA Dutch butt needs no more widening, but I could diet until then just to enjoy everything! Yum!!!
