on October 30, 2015This just looks like so much fun. From young to old, everyone seems to be having a great time. It reminds me of family gatherings with my family years ago. The face painting was awesome. The kids seemed to enjoy the touch tank. What a way to spend a day enjoying good food, music, activities and people. Hayrides are neat. We always ended out day with a hayride. The museum did a very good job with this event I think. You captured the mood of the people there. Everybody seemed to be having a really good time. This is one for the scrapbook. For many years to come, people can thumb back through the fun you captuted doing what youbdo best behind the lens of your camera. Enjoyed my visit!
