Well with fall finally here, to kick off the weekend, we always have a fall festival here at the bed and breakfast.\u00a0 Friday night starts off with a ‘pig pickin’ which is where we have a whole 75 pound pig barbecued and then there’s the usual fixins which are barbecue slaw, potato salad, baked beans and banana puddin’.\u00a0 Some of the local musicians (and there are a lot of them in these hills) stop by for some pickin and grinnin.\u00a0 I guess you could call it a mini fiddlers convention.<\/p>\n
Then Saturday, some of the locals bring their arts and crafts for a craft fair here on the grounds.\u00a0 We have everything from handmade quilts, home made jellies and preserves, fresh vegetables, and some of the most amazing paintings and crafts you have ever seen.\u00a0 Anyone is welcome and many come from all around just to spend the day if I’m booked up which I usually am for this weekend.\u00a0 This year wasn’t any different which surprised me.\u00a0 There weren’t quite as many here just for the day as there usually are but that’s the only difference.<\/p>\n
Today, we had a good old fashioned gospel singing.\u00a0 There were choirs from several different churches here and again some locals just got up and sang solo.\u00a0 The air was just crisp enough that I made hot spiced apple cider for everyone.\u00a0 The whole weekend was a complete success not only in fun but financially for me and several in the community too with the arts and craft fair.\u00a0 It’s one of my favorite weekends throughout the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
