A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Autumn Glory Fesitval

Tomorrow me and mom are going with my best friend Mel to the Autumn Glory Festival right? Well it's a huge 4 day event....tons of stuff, crafts, parade, corn maze, horse rides, dances, band competition, all kinds of stuff.

I just got back from the library and you know who the Grand Marshall of the parade is this year?

Jim Cantore from the Weather Channel! I think it's really cool because dad is a weather freak and we were raised watching the weather channel. Dad can't go though but I still think it's cool. I guess I'm a geek. I mean it's not like he's a celebrity really but hey, it's still neat.

I don't know who that is. I will have to look him up. I never watch the weather channel because it seems like it takes forever for them to get to our local weather. James' brother-in-law watches it all the time though!

He's like the most famous weather reporter on the Weather Channel!

I'm always watching the "local on the 8's" here!

I'm a dork to be excited about seeing a weather forecaster I guess.

Loz, there is always something fun going on where you live. Can't wait for pics.

I hope you get a picture of Jim Cantore for your dad Loz ~ Even better if you were in the PIcture,,



Okay How many items is your limit for purchase for this Festival!!??

Oh darn, I'm glad you said that Diane---I need to charge the batteries in my camera tonight!

Does anyone KNOW who he is? So many people I told have no idea....I guess I'm the only one watching the weather channel!

Is it in your town or will you be spending the night wherever you're going?

It's only about 25 miles away. The parade starts at 1pm but I've heard you have to get there by 9am to have a parking spot. Gotta remember to wear my comfy shoes.

Hope you have good weather. Ours has been wonderful the last 2 days but I know you're several degrees lower than we are. We expect wonderful surprises from you from this festival ya know.

Low 50's tomorrow, mostly sunny. I hope I can handle the crowds....I'm not a crowd kind of girl.

I know who he is. He is pretty famous, he covers, live, all the hurricanes and such. He also does specials. I watch the weather channel alot because of my plants. Have fun!!

I know you'll have Fun Loz , I'm looking forward to your Pictures!!

Ummm, we had a last second change of plans...we went shopping instead!

It was so cold and windy this morning that we just figured we'd all be miserable out there all day.

So sorry, no pics...but we did have a wonderful day out shopping...Me, mom and my friend Mel....and we did all buy a lot of stuff!

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh Loz!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wellllll No pictures But what did ya get??

Lots and lots of stuff--probably too much to type down here! Lots to wrap!

okayyyyyyyyyy :wink:

I did get another present for Bill today for Christmas! It's very cool. :wink:

i'm so glad you got to shop. i wish i hadn't shopped, but i did buy myself some socks my feet stay cold these days. i haven't worn flops in weeks

Wanna see the thing Mel bought for me for Christmas? I eyed it up and she bought it there on the spot. I have it now, she made me take it so she didn't have to bring it back when we exchange presents later.

It's cool!

water garden

cool! i think i'd like one of those myself! looks like fun.

Technically it's for kids but it's really not a toy. I have cuttings in it for now and later I'll put some germinated seeds in it....it has a special drawer for you to germinate your seeds in...and lights up.....pretty neat. We got it in Ollie's Bargain Outlet if anyone has one of those....on sale for 19.99.

no we don't have one. but i'll be on the lookout for one at the outlets/big lots here.

Discovery Kids.....I knew you were a kid at heart. Very cool though.

Loz the Shopping Fanatic, she leaves no coin left unspent. Glad you had a fun day after all.

Mom had a lot of fun too, and it was nice for her to go out without having to drive......

Hmmm....does that mean you drove? I hate driving as well.

Shopping is good. I really like that water garden. I want to find a couple for my grand children.

I never drive. My best friend Mel came down for the day, she lives about 2 1/2 hours away so I don't see her too often.

The water garden is neat....I really like it a lot. It's the sort of present that's educational and fun!

I just finally got to read this topic again! You went shopping instead??? Oh well! I wouldn't want to sit out in the wind and cold either. I would much rather go shopping. That fountain thing you got is really cool!!

Well I didn't care what we did really....and my best friend said she didn't care either way as long as we were together doing something....and SHE really wanted to go shopping, which is funny because she's a tomboy but she's really been into buying girly clothes since she got her new job.

It was a WONDERFUL day out...just me, mom, and Mel....no men. We all had money....and we ate out....very nice.

That is always a fun day! Glad to hear that you had fun!
