Harvest Festival

The umpteenth annual Harvest Festival was held yesterday in Yadkinville, and we couldn't possibly have asked for better weather. It was an absolutely beautiful day.

Our church, Maplewood Baptist, is well-known at the Harvest Festival for its fried apple pies. They tried doing things a little differently this year, fresh-preparing the pies on site. It seemed to work really well. If you've never had one of Maplewood's fried apple pies ... well ... there's always next year.

Adam and Jesse then had a soccer game. They won, and it was there that I was greeted by Kaleb and Haley Dickerson, the son and daughter of our good friends, Michael and Missy Dickerson. Kaleb and Haley had their very own home-made campaign signs, which they paraded around the soccer fields and later, the Harvest Festival.

Here's Haley and her sign ...


And here's the sign that Kaleb sported ...


It would be nearly impossible to keep Adam from this bungee jumping activity. He's jumped at the last three or four Harvest Festivals, not to mention the Dixie Classic Fair. And the higher he goes, the better.
