Centerfest

On Saturday, September 28, we headed to Bedford, Virginia for Centerfest. This was our first out of town festival. Brent actually found out about this festival from someone who saw his pictures on facebook and told him about it.
Our first adventure started during set up. At previous festivals, Brent's booth has been on a very flat spot. However, here we were on a hill with with lots of wind and here the fun began. Thankfully, the gentleman at the booth beside us had extra cinderblocks he loaned us to hold up the canvas displays.
Here is the completed booth:

 Though set up was a little hectic, it turned out great!

 Here they are, entertaining themselves. Bekah was "writing her name" Rachel enjoyed trying to figure out how stilts work! Then they were treated to cotton candy right BEFORE lunch! Oh well, it was a special day!

 Midmorning, the girls and I got into the van. I turned it on, got each girl in her seat, turned on their usual "sleepy" music for while we are in the car and...
neither one took a nap!
So both were going from an early early morning until Bekah finally couldn't fight sleep any longer. While she slept her big sister walked around with me to see some of the other vendors' booths.

 On the last street we found a kids carnival. So Rachel did get a quick train ride as her special treat.

Here is Brent visiting with festival goers that came by his booth.
 We had a great day in Bedford and really enjoyed being a part of Centerfest!
