Such an amazing sight! Tonight was the very first time I have ever seen colors dancing in the night sky! It didn’t quite look like the videos I have seen of the Northern Lights, but the light show tonight was still so amazing, and I am still quite surprised at how decently well some of the photos turned out! We were able to see the light show starting around 10:30pm, and they haven’t stopped yet. What about y’all? Was anyone else able to see the evening light show tonight? Please feel free to share some pictures and/or thoughts on tonight’s light show. (The lights were higher in the sky, and a bit lighter as the night went on.)

Hi Facebook World,

Here is the promised post about Day 2 of the Blueberry Festival.

There was so much happening yesterday!!

To kick off the opening of the Festival, there were three paragliders that were dropped over the park, and safely landed in the open field in front of the little amphitheater. It was so cool to watch them coming down. The first one to land looked like they were coming in pretty hot as they landed. The other two looked to have caught an up draft and stayed aloft much longer than the first glider did.

Then, shortly after this, the first of two Civil War Reenactments began (I was able to catch some of the second one that started at 3.) I have never seen one before, but it was pretty interesting to watch. It was also really cool that all the actors had an encampment set up, with a few information signs around explaining some of the things that happened back then. (They even had a mini stockade that anyone could take pictures in.) It was really informational, and a very good reminder of how much has changed since then. (It was also super cute to see the kids getting into the reenactment as well.

There were a few things that I was only able to hear about throughout the day. For example, there was a parade down Main Street, and shortly after that, there were quite a few dogs and their owners walking through. There was a dog show that happened not much later than that. And, after the dog show was a blueberry pie eating contest. It sounded pretty interesting from all the whooping and hollering going on.

Lastly, towards the end of the Vendor’s time, I was able to make a loop around the park. There are way more vendors and food trucks than I realized. And, the little park and inflatable obstacle courses looked like so much fun! (They are also REALLY HUGE!!!!) I have never seen some so big! (I think a few adults could have climbed on those and they would still be standing.) Another activity for the kids that looked like so much fun, was Fish and Wildlife brought out a decently large tank, and filled it with some smaller fish for the kids to be able to fish from. It was really sweet to see that someone was willing to stick with the activity and help the kids bait the hooks, take the hooks out of the fish’s mouth when they were caught, and take care of the ones the kids caught so they could take home their catch!! (Some of those kids were so excited that they caught a fish, and there were even a couple that were a little nervous as they felt the fish on the line of their fishing poles. It was so cute! Even some of the grownups were more excited than some of the kids were.) It was such a great experience for the kids!

Yesterday was so much fun, and full of so much activity, I can’t wait to see what today will bring!!

Just in case you are seeing this post before this morning’s post, we will be out at Klickitat Pairie Park (behind the Mossyrock Market off of State St.) until 4 pm tonight, with a few of the other activities continuing on until 5 pm.

Hope you will be able to make it out, if you have time, otherwise, I hope you have a wonderful Sunday!

Thanks for stopping by.

Sorry Facebook World,

I was so distracted with everything happening in my personal life, and everything going on at the Blueberry Festival yesterday, I didn’t post anything about Day 2 of the Mossyrock Blueberry Festival. (I will correct this in a little bit.)

As for today, we are all set up and ready for everyone to come and enjoy the Festival today. We will all be out here until 4pm tonight, with a few extra activities continuing on until 5pm. We are out at the Klickitat Prairie Park in Mossyrock (right behind the Mossyrock Market off of State St.)

Hope to see you all out here, if you can make it. Otherwise, we hope you have a wonderful, and restful, Sunday.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hi Facebook World,

Thank you to everyone that came out and braved the heat. It was so nice to meet everyone that stopped by.

If you missed today, don’t worry. The Mossyrock Blueberry Festival will be on again tomorrow from 11am-7pm, and the first event to lock off this Saturday is a parade down State St. that is set to start at 11. (So, make sure to stake out your spot early if you want a good view.) This will be followed by some great live music playing, and you won’t want to miss the Civil War Reenactment either. (If I heard correctly, there will be two showing for the next two days. I’m kind of hoping I get the chance to see at least a little bit of it. Before the end of the day, they were beginning to set up the tents and everything.) There will also be some pretty amazing vendors, two GIANT bounce houses for the kids to run out their energy on, some great food, and just a whole lot of community around to meet.

If you have the chance, make your way out the Mossyrock Blueberry Festival, and come check it out for yourself. If plans take you elsewhere this weekend, I hope you have a fantastic weekend filled with good friends and good times.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hi Facebook World,

Sorry for the no heads up before now, but we are all setup out in Mossyrock for the Mossyrock Blueberry Festival at Klickitat Prairie Park. We will be out here until 7 tonight.

I haven’t had a chance to see much of the Festival, yet, but there are so many diverse vendor booth, plenty of food trucks, some pretty good music, with a couple live bands coming out later this evening, and some amazing looking bounce “houses” for the kids!

If you have a chance, come on out and enjoy the festivities this weekend (we will be out tomorrow 11am-7pm and Sunday 11am-5pm).

Thanks for stopping by.
