Apple Festival

So what do you do on a Friday night in upstate South Carolina?

You go to the Apple Festival, of course!
When we moved from Mississippi, I must admit I thought that we were LEAVING "the country." Well folks, you CANNOT get more "country" than the South Carolina Apple Festival in the little ole' town of Westminster.
It was a grand time for the Stringers. Dirty carnival rides, sweet old church ladies selling everything from apple butter and apple turnovers to candied apples and apple cake, men with mullets in wife beaters eating giant turkey legs, and lots of hand-made crafts!

...and of course there was lemonade, snow cones, funnel cakes, and more!

There were a few highlights in Smith's eyes.

the choo choo train happened to come by...

and a sweet lady gave him a big red balloon...

I was proud that we decided to venture out and explore the upstate!

Now we must get to bed and gear up to cheer on the TIGERS tomorrow!
