Plinging out the notes one at a time I would play “If a picture paints a thousand words” over and over on that old mahogany upright piano I grew up on. As much as I love words, eloquent words seem to fail me when I need them most to express gratitude. I could write a list to fill your screen of people I need to thank, but instead let this picture paint a thousand words that echo “thank you” over and over again — to our shoppers, our vendors, our crew, our friends, our family and YOU!
I’ve always been partial to that magic moment that feels a bit like a Hallmark card or now I think they say Hallmark movie. Cowboy told me in the early hard years that if we ran out of magic, we’d make some. At times that magic looked as simple as pancakes on a carpet picnic because that’s what life afforded at the time. It seems unreal that we get to make the magic feeling of Farm Life Festival come to life and be shared with so many kind and smiling friends.
We had so many compliments on our local musicians that I promised to share their info so you can find them again!
Monica Austin, Shiloh Cunningham and our own Cowboy – Jesse Register. Check out their schedule to go listen live at their next venue or book them for your special event.
We LOVE our vendors and we want to make it easy to follow their journey and shop with them all year long!! (If you’re a maker and collector get on our email list over on our Farm Life page)
