The Reston Fair

I took my kids to the Reston Festival today. The weather threatened rain but in the end there was only a two-second spitting.

It was very crowded; more so than last year. But there were some great vendors and some awesome raffles. We entered to win tickets for the Children's Festival in September at Wolf Trap and also to win an Eco-Friendly Kite.

The kids area was clear across the other side from last year. But they added many more activities such as rides, walking jesters, and other fun activities. Like last year, there was a free craft section. But this year, you could buy tickets not only for the rides but also for activities such as a caricaturist. We missed that but I heard they had to close the line so the artist could go home at a reasonable time, ha!

I am hoping to attend tomorrow without the kids for a bit to check out the vendors more closely. I saw some really interesting things that need a closer look sans little, grabbing hands.

Here is a fun picture I took in the craft area. Wouldn't that be a great job, to walk around on stilts, squirting little kids on the head with a water gun?! I'd take it in a heartbeat!

There are some fabulous events coming up in August and September. I have been working on getting those two pages up on the calendar. I hope you'll come back to check them out soon!
