Maysville Fall Festival

Saturday I traveled to Maysville, Georgia for their fall festival.

There were pony rides, face painting, funnel cakes and big jumping things for the kids. I went for the parade and to see my nephew, Ricky, walk in the parade with the Cub Scouts. The folks in the parade threw candy. Here's a self portrait of me and little me, who couldn't wait to try a sucker!

Here comes the fire truck, the people shout Hooray!

The big chicken!

The Church wagon

Seeing the old tractors was a lot of fun.

I love this building. Every time I visit Maysville, and see this building - not sure if it used to be a restaurant, or what - but I can see the potential of a story there. Imagine weaving a story around the people who worked and visited the "Yellow Rose of Maysville."

I smell a historical brewing...

More pictures to come of the cool vintage cars and hot rods that were also in the parade! Check back later in the week!

I've always enjoyed reading historical novels. As a child I actually imagined living in the mid 1800s. My grandmother fed my imaginatio...
