Summer Solstice 2010, Winchendon Massachusetts

Yesterday was the Annual Summer Solstice, here in Winchendon, MA. My hubby and I arrived
at the Clark Memorial YMCA at a little after 7:00 am to set up my booth. Originally, I was supposed to set up in space number 8, but there was a late sign up and I was moved to space number 7. Which was still the beginning off the row of crafters.
There were races for both adults and children on the track, that went completely around the field, so all the crafters were able to watch. They had a band that was playing through out the day and some games for the kids to play.
Later around noon there was a parade down Central street for all the families to go out and watch. Families were able to take old fashioned pictures, have lunch at one of the many food venders and just have a nice day out with the kids.
There were even some animals at the back of the field for the kids to pet. There were some little chicks, a pig, a sheep, a llama and a few others that I can't remember.
Its was fairly windy that day and so I was having to pick some of my items up off the grass, where the wind had blown them. I had lots of people stop by and look at my items, ask a few questions, and some fellow spinners and knitters. I did make 1 sale that day, but all in all I just plain had fun showing off my handspun yarns, knitted items and handmade soaps.
