We pulled up alongside Barbara Curtiss's house yesterday morning and this is the first sight we saw! This is my 7th year visiting NEAR and each year brings so many smiles! We just love coming here for Barktoberfest!
Denis's sculptures are awesome! They're fabulous to see in person!
Mitch wanted to know if that was Janie! She had a lot of fur but no pretty bow!
Is that Dexter we see?!
I met a 15-year old Welshie named Reilly. He's Barbara Curtiss' doggie and he was the oldest doggie at the event!
Carol Usher was there with her dogs, Jessie and Scuffer, and she did demonstrate the art of needle felting! Mom would have liked to stand there all day and watch her poke away! She's a master with that barbed needle!
And she brought goodies to sell and yes, mom did buy one of them! We'll save that post for tomorrow.
There was a Dale dressed as a witch~And a Wire Fox Terrier dressed as a lobster.
That's Mitch with his tongue hanging out and a very interested dad right beside him! hehehe
Check out that huge bumble bee! He's standing on a table so he's really not as big as a horse!
I tried to catch a hotdog - and missed! That's Barbara Curtiss that's hanging onto my leash!And Mitch did worse at the hotdog toss than I did!We got treats! Thanks, dad!
And we had a great time!
And we were anxious to get home for dindin!
It was an exhausting day~
But so much fun and we wouldn't trade any part of it!
We'll be back tomorrow to show you the goodies that mom bought!
So until next time...............
Love ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch
We can't wait to see what lovely things your mom bought!! Looks like you had a very eventful day.. no wonder you were tired out!!
ReplyDeleteHeehee.. we like that doggie in the witch costume.. Hmmm maybe I can ask mom to do something like that for Hershey cos she's a little witch anyway!! LOL...
All those dales! What a great time and you had a perfect fall day for it too.

ReplyDeletewhat an awesome post! That outing was superb. Our mom says she loves those felties...but I didn't see any Goldens?

That looks like so much fun. We wish we could have been there. Can't wait to see your goodies.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great day! We can't wait to see what your mom bought. Someday, our mom hopes to get as good at felting as Carol. Of course, our mom has never won any awards for her felting...she hasn't even entered any contests. We hope the Barktoberfest made lots of money for Aire-rescue. Ours is coming up on Nov. 15 and Mom has a sitter coming for our dad.
ReplyDeleteAire-hugs,
Poppy, Penny & Patches
Crikey that sure did look like Janie. Wish we could have been there. Looks like a great day out.
