So the temperature outside as I am writing this is 91 degrees here and 108 in Phoenix.
But I can assure you that Autumn has arrived.
How can I say that?
Because I looked in on Prescott Valley's official Harvest Festival yesterday.
These three stalwarts were viewing the flurry of activity at the town's Civic Center as the finishing touches were being put on the set-up for the Fall Festival.
Recorded music was blasting out over the grounds but equipment was being put in place and hooked up for the live music coming later in the day.
The police were putting on a bike rodeo, there were pony rides and a small train taking people around the grounds, a cornhole game had been set up and was attracting players, bounce houses were installed and active and delighted shrieks and screams were coming from the passengers in this whirling carnival ride.
And best of all for this reporter, there were a variety of food trucks!
This heart-adorned little girl seemed to be thinking, "Will he just hurry up and take his picture so I can get into that treat!!!"
Yes, my friends, ignore the temperatures.
Autumn is here!
A fine assortment of healthy food, the crumb cookies need to be deep-fried though. Monday in the PNW is going to be warm, 80 in Portland, hot for this time of year.
ReplyDeleteGlobal warming.
DeleteThere were a lot of things going on in Prescott, too. Art Walk, Fallon's Downhome Vintage 2 day event, something on the courthouse square. It's too hot to make any of this comfortable.
ReplyDeleteWe only go to Prescott for doctor visits.
