IMG_1041[1]Yesterday my friend Mary Ann and I attended the first annual Railroad Days festival at the Darlington station near Ligonier.  It was a small event as these things go, but very well organized and also well attended.  There were several vendors and craft booths, as well as a very talented band (lots of Civil War music!) and great food.

My niece Sarah (seated)IMG_1037[1] and her husband Kyle painted faces all afternoon and did an amazing job.  Thomas the Train was a particular favorite, but mostly the girls liked rainbows or their name among the stars.   

All in all it was a great day, and we met a lot of lovely people and made some good connections.  I sold several of my books and Mary Ann sold several books in addition to her hand-made jewelry (all available at Craftique in Greensburg in the Davis Plaza).IMG_1046[1]

 

Special thanks to Mimi Owens and the entire committee for including us in this first annual festival.  We’re already looking forward to next year! IMG_1044[1]
