seemed to lead me once more through the fertile fields of sunflowers to Winfield this year once more. This was my second year going to the Walnut Valley music fest with about 4 other families from our village. It was a bit of a different experience in a good way from last year. Last year the camp ground had actually gotten flooded and we had to camp about 10 miles away.
Usually tons of folks camp right next the fest like this year. It was so great to just hop on our bikes and peddal on over and then come back to camp for a while. It also lent the kids lots of freedom which was really neat to see them grow in their responsibility. We had a lovely time, saw some great music, and relaxed with friends. It is rapidly becoming a favorite fall activity!
I am so impressed at the broad diversity of ages and folks that come together in the love of this old time music! My 2 favorite bands were The Greencards and Still on the Hill. Good times indeed. I read, rested, and just relaxed! I am looking forward to heading back down that yellow brick road next year with friends once more! There are a few more pictures from the trip here. Viva la bluegrass!
