Texas Red's Festival

This past weekend we went to a local steak and grape festival here in town. It was a fun way to spend our day! We got some excellent carnival food including a giant corny dog and sausage on a stick, and of course you cant forget the cotton candy! Yummy!!!

There were a lot of activities going on! We got to watch some grape stomping competitions, that was a first for all of us, it looked pretty funny! They had arts and crafts vendors, kids zone, and an artist showcase. We got to watch a live pottery demonstration, something I've always wanted to do.

Beau got to jump in a bounce house in the kids zone, and of course he loved that! But the coolest part was the reptile exhibit! They had several snakes we could touch, and even a little one that they let you hold by yourself if you wanted. Beau wasn't really scared to touch the snakes, but he wasn't too sure about holding it! They also had a giant tortoise we could pet.

Overall, it was a great Saturday!! Even if we got rained on a little bit, it actually felt nice and cooled everything off. I'm looking forward to more things like this this to check out around our new town!
