Peach Festival
On Saturday July 16, 2011 we had a blast at the Peach Festival in Candor, North Carolina! And what a day it was, we met the ladies from Asheboro home there and watched the Peach Festival parade which began the festival. We saw all sorts of cool things during the parade, like men in mini race cars speeding around, antique and new tractors, horses, and refurbished cars. After the parade we followed the crowd of people to the heart of the festival in downtown Candor where all the “action” was taking place. There were numerous vendors selling crafts, food vendors, of course the Peach mascot, and live music from the Sand Band! What great music they were playing. Marshall and Terri enjoyed the music with some dancing, and since Marshall’s dancing is so unique he was able to get on the stage with the band and dance with band members! And what would the Peach Festival be without, but of course, peach ice cream, peach cobbler, and homegrown peaches from local farmers. It was just a “peachy” kind of a day for all of us. Oh, and while we were there enjoying the music, we got a surprise visit from the ladies from Lanier. So all in all, it turned out to be a good day spent with our good friends, and new friends that we made there. Definitely something we look forward to doing next year!
