This past Saturday we went
to the annual "Spinach Festival"
held here in Lenexa. The festival
celebrates the Belgium heritage
of Lenexa residents. They are the
first people who raise spinach
crops here in Lenexa.
So guess what on of the booths
sells??? You guessed it right!
All kinds of food made with
the good ol' green stuff.
Spinach pizza, wraps, spinach
balls, hot dip and cold dip,
Wimpy burgers and they also
have a baby pool (cleaned before
use) full of spinach salad!
There are other vendors selling
all sorts of other kinds of yummies.
In the pic above, Mr. Ken is
finishing a spinach ball.
There is a lot too see
and do at the festival which
takes place in one of our
beautiful parks. There are lots
of craft tents, activities for the
kids by the pond, music on
the main stage and lots of
fresh air and vitamin D.
PS--I lost a pic somewhere.
It showed Nancy at one of the
tents holding a decoration for
Thanksgiving.
The gals---Nancy--Acorn Cottage, me
and Estelle, Nancy's Mother-in-Law.
Those boys--Mr. Ken and Dan the
Man caught lounging in the shade
while we looked through the tents.
It was a great day to be outside and
spend time with friends.
~Keep on Dreaming~
Sounds like a fun (and healthy) day!!

Oh I so would have loved to have gone to that - I love me some spinach! I've lived out here for 13 years and this is the first time that I've heard of it though. =/ Might have to put it on my calendar for next year!
