Spinach Anyone????

On Saturday , Nancy--Acorn Cottage and I headed out for the

25th Annual Lenexa Spinach Festival located in the beautiful

Sar-Ko-Par Trails Park. It was a beautiful day to wander the

park looking at crafts and antiques plus we enjoyed the

food at the food booths. The Spinach Festival celebrates

Lenexa's earliest claim to fame as the "Spinach Capitol of

World" during the 1930's. Belgian farmers grew spinach

and the shipped it out by rail. The festival rolls all of the

history into one big festival sporting "the world's largest

spinach salad, spinach dip, pizza, wraps and balls plus a

variety of other food for festival goers pleasure.

Here we find Popeye and Olive Oyl doing some old-fashioned

pole fishing at the "waterering hole." Wonder if they caught

any??

There are over 100 artand craft booths to look at and one

tent full of antiques!

One of our favorite booth is the one Nancy calls "the Hallo-

ween booth" it also has some Christmas stuff too. It is VERY

hard to make decisions in this delightful place! Can you see

the "pig-tailed pumpkin" on the black table--it's really a

halloween cat complete with a tail. She'a adorable.

Nancy is holding a sweater decorated with Yo-Yo's. NO, not the kind on a string and you walk the dog with it. The kind you make out of fabric. VERY VERY Cute! This booth was huge AND we found out they are opening a store locally! Could be trouble for Nan and me. :)

NOW--the mystery of the day. Is this man's hair real ?

We had a great time and are looking forward to next year!!

~Keep on Dreaming~
