Good Morning! Well, it's raining again here in the wonderful city of Irvine, KY. :) But you know what? I am happy! That means it is nearly Springtime in the mountains! Before you know it, trees will be budding and everything will be fresh and clean and GREEN! This is such a magic time of year, I am really looking forward to getting some much needed outdoor time. I always feel so out of sorts during the winter! It is so pretty and the ice and snow are magic in their own way, but its not the same as being out in the wide open spaces feeling the ground beneath your feet and the wind on your face. I am a country girl, I always have been and will always be!
BUT back to the matter at hand! It is nearly Springtime in the Mountains! And for all you locals you know what that means...IT'S ALMOST TIME FOR THE FESTIVAL!!! For the not local people, every year our small town hosts a big to do called the Mountain Mushroom Festival. For more info click here. It is a time for people to gather and get out of the house after a long winter indoors. There are arts and crafts, every kind of food you could ever want, petting zoos, face painting, and good music. Children that grew up here, went off to school and started families of their own make the trek back every year to visit and catch up with the latest news. It's a way for them to come back to simpler times and slow down and just enjoy the weekend. And don't forget the parade! It is really small town American living at its best and brightest. Soooo if you aren't busy, head on down to Irvine, KY the last weekend in April! Bring your family and get ready for some good times and memories that last :)
