The Harvest Market Parade is yet another favorite fall event for us. The kids from Poker Hill School (or graduates, as is the case with three out of the four in this picture) love being in the parade and marching through town. The Harvest Market is hard to explain-- a mix of flee market, old fashioned fair, town wide garage sale, and ecclectic gathering.
Hazey took his job holding the flag, very seriously.

Poker Hill has a tent where they offer face painting for a recommended donation of $3. John made the mistake of excelling at this a few years ago, so I now sign him up for his duties. He's really good. Unfortunately, the booth was so crowded that I ended up having to attempt some face painting myself. It was nerve wracking, to say the least. Especially when a three year old asked me for a Curious George (which Cally informed me looked more like a turd on the girls face)
In celebration of the Harvest, we went apple picking as a family the day after Harvest Market.
And finally, here's a picture of Cally's t-shirt and banner that she made at Poker Hill Arts. An after school arts class that she's been doing every Monday. She absolutely loves it! They were hung in the village green to advertise a local arts weekend.
