5-7 Spring Festivals

Walking a chicken on a leash
This morning we loaded Flo into the car and headed to town. The first stop was the Cinco De Mayo Festival in downtown Temple, part of the festival was a VW Car show, when we arrived there were still cars arriving to be entered in the show so we decided to come back a bit later. We drove seven miles east of Temple to the Seaton Star Hall for the SPJST Car Show. This show is put on each year to raise funds for the Czech Heritage Museum of Temple and the SPJST Education and Nature Center. They were very well organized. They parked us in a farm field which was recently mowed. Larry asked if Flo could walk around and the gentleman said sure. It was a nice size car show. We walked around for about a half hour. Flo was getting tired so we put her back in the car. Then we walked in the building where there were a few booths setup for you to buy stuff. They had live music and snacks. It was a very nice show. Afterward we went back to the VW Car Show. We left Flo in the car and walked around. It was cool to see all the old VW buses and bugs. Most of the buses were in one row and the bugs were in a couple of rows. Some of the buses had surf boards on top of them. Some of them were very well kept up. The bugs had cool luggage racks on top of the car. The racks had picnic baskets in them. While we were walking around we saw a lady walking her chicken on a leash so I had to take her picture. We were in town for about two hours and had fun. Larry is still not feeling the best so we headed back to the house.

During the afternoon we read our books. Well, I read a book on the Kindle and Larry listened to one. In the evening we watched Captain America. We rented it for three days. Then we watched the ending of Janis Joplin on our local PBS station. Then we watched America Reframed, which was about a teenage girl competing in Martial Arts and wrestling. It was very entertaining.
