Spring Festival

For the first time this year I heard about the

Spring Festival

of Strawberry Plains.

So I researched a little bit

and learned it's organized by the

Strawberry Plains Community Alliance since 2006.

Somewhat naive, it was nice tough to see the effort put on to it.

In my mind I thought I would encounter something more like a farmer's market, but I was wrong.

Some craft vendors, some food boots, and a tepee along with a couple of Native American craft boots

belonging to the local Native American descendants.

The parade included the Indians

the Scottish,

which I presume would be

the most representative ethnic group here in East Tennessee...?,

or at least meaning most of the East Tennesseans are

Scottish descendants...?

I really couldn't find much on that,

but the Indians and the Scottish

were indeed the only ethnic groups represented.

Also a few old rods,

some old time John Deere tractors,

and a few horseback riders.

Nevertheless,

It was a lovely blue skies day

and it kinda felt goog being outside around people.
