Day 5.249: Fall Festival

Although NPR has been telling us that this is the last full weekend of summer (the equinox falls during next weekend and ushers in autumn), it was the Five Rivers Fall Festival today.

Exile #3 had offered to help out at the ever-popular craft tables again, so she had a busy afternoon there.  The rest of us were busy too - first elsewhere, but then Exile #2, E5N1 and I went over there to look around, enjoy some of the activities and collect Exile #3 at the end of her volunteering stint.

There was an opportunity to look around the brand-new school-program building.  It's a very nice space and was proudly advertising its environmentally-conscious building materials (appropriately enough).  The green-roof is yet to be planted (they had a sample), but otherwise, it looks ready for action!

Meanwhile E5N1 caught a plastic fish with a real fishing line and did some craft (some assisted by his sister) and I admired the giant plastic fish at the fish-printing table.

Then it was a quick exit (via the used-books stall) to collect Exile #4 from a birthday party.
