Bob,
How fun to see that, and the price is old fashioned and just right. A
Hi Robert Bob Gilbert
This sounds like a fun event for all.
The Annual Folk Life Festival sounds like a really fun event to have in your area, Bob!
Hi Bob
Bet this will be a well attended event this weekend. It looks like a fun one, and the Outdoor Learning Center sounds like an interesting place to explore and enjoy.
Jeff
This looks like it will be a day full of fun! If it's any consolation, I won't be able to make it either
Hope those repair teams don't keep you waiting around forever!
Bob love places like this, there was one in Sturbridge MA and I could not go enough times to Sturbridge Village, to see what life was like in the 1800's. There was a place in CT too Mystic Seaport.... just as fun, Endre
