The DF Hates the Covered Bridge Festival

If you haven't read the DF's Parke County Covered Bridge Festival post yet, click here to read it for some humor. He and I went to Parke County yesterday and saw a few covered bridges and briefly visited the Bridgeton festivities. He obviously didn't like the festival, and he kept insisting that it wasn't a real "festival" but he really had nothing to base that on. The traffic really was horrendous, though, and the areas where it was being "directed" were the worst. I'm not sure where they found those people, but they were really awful. We ended up not seeing as many bridges as planned because we were just so sick of the traffic. Anyway, I've included a few more pictures below. The next time we go to Parke County we'll just go on another route to see some bridges. It will go better than yesterday, I'm sure!

  1. Once you know what you are getting into, it's tolerable. There is still enough good artwork to make it bearable! We have a fantastic framed photo on our wall taken by a young artist that we bought a couple of years back. Auntie 502

  2. Yeah, I thought it had some potential for some cute holiday items at least, but the DF couldn't handle it long enough for me to look around much. I did buy a trombone Christmas ornament. I know it sounds really dorky, but he and I became friends in band playing trombone together, so I thought it was cute.

  3. Nope, not dorky at all. Shortly after Chris met Sarah, I gave her the cutest miniature wooden violin ornament since she plays the violin! A Christmas tree is wonderful filled with things that mean the most to you! Auntie 502

  4. Can you get a CD player ornament? That is the only musical device the kids say I could play.

  5. Lol, Dad, I don't think they had those. I'll keep an eye out for one, though! :o)

  6. I bet that they have a CD player ornament at the world's largest Christmas store in Frankenmuth! You wouldn't believe what they sell ornaments of there! Auntie 502
