The Peach Festival!

Peach Festival 2009
Lafayette, CO

We had the best time at the Peach Festival on Saturday!

It was a bright sunny day filled with fruit, art, shopping and cute dogs!



There was peach filled food everywhere!


Peachy Art!



and of course burgers, pizza, popcorn and more!

Here is Fred talking to the man with a hamburger hat on his head. :)


and looooook at this cute baby corgi!


Melanie just loved him!



and of course I found a pug!


Here I am with "The Green Collar Guy", David Jessup.


Melanie and I met first him in Steamboat and bought his beautiful cement planters there.


When I heard he would be just down the street at the festival, I knew I had to go!


Look what I got!




and Melanie got this beautiful bowl for her table outside.



We also each got peaches and handwoven baskets to hold them in.

Melanie and I both laughed when she came to pick me up because we put on the same shirt this morning. It was so fun because after 40 years of people asking us if we are twins, no one asked today! I think it was just totally obvious!


What a great day! :)


What fun things did you do this weekend? We would love to hear all about it!

The peach festival looks like heaven! Yumm! What a great way to spend the day!!
That baby Corgi is so cute! My daughter worked at a pet store this summer and they had one there. He was also a doll!

Seeing the two of you in matching shirts reminded me of my Mom and her twin sister - they did stuff like that all the time - same clothes, shoes, etc!

That is too funny!! :)
My best girlfriend and I do that occasionally too.. but we usually get laughed at. lol

I don't think I have had a peach yet this summer and after seeing all those peaches, I need to change that!

Puglette said...

you two are just too cute! yum, peaches are my favorites!! i saw an easy recipe for peach freezer jam and really wanted to make it but our peaches haven't been that great this year.

we saw 7 baby corgi's at a recent agility trial...i squealed and ran to them...i just wanted to stay in their pen and play all day!
hugs,

Oh that sounds like a blast. We entered my dad's 73 Super Beetle into our local annual car show. It was fun. We also gave out free pop, some early campaigning for John. There were more than 300 cars at the show.

I just love peaches. There is a fruit stand close by where I live and they get peaches from the hotter part of Washington state, they are heavenly.

OK, I think I got caught up on your blog. That looks like a great journal book and I love the cement planters you and Melanie got at the fair. Sounds like it was a fun weekend!

Stubby said...

Hi Melissa & Emmitt! You always do such fun stuff! That festival looked great and it looks like you and Melanie really enjoyed yourself.

That corgi puppy was cute but not as cute as that pug. I bet Emmitt was a little jealous that he didn't get invited to the festival.

Oh those peaches look yummy!! I just love all the fresh fruits and veggies of summer! And oh my, I spied a moose in with that peach art work! I'm always on the lookout for moose stuff because I have a friend who's really into moose. Looks like you had a great time at the festival!
