Arts Festival 2008
The Peoples’ Choice Festival is this weekend too, in Boalsburg. We’ll be going today. Scott’s will be there, with their roasted pork sandwiches. Here are some pics (click the pic to hugefy, but you knew that), below the fold.
We parked on campus and headed south. Oh dear God, did I say south? Help, I’m being infected! We parked on campus and headed southeast. The festival starts on campus, and spreads way past. Here’s the library, er, libraries. Nearer is the Pattee, and further, past the entrance, the Paterno (I’lll give you three guesses who the library is named after).
Right before we got to the edge of the festival, I saw this, and found it odd enough to snap a picture:
Like the 4th Street Festival in Bloomington, it’s largely people who obsess on one little trick, and do it over and over and over and over again. There’s a woodworker who does some beautiful things. Need a new coffee table, or a closet door?
The Creamery has a tent, of course. Here’s the back:
Here’s the front, and the flavors sign:
Helmut’s! Unfortunately, they’re only a traveling food stand, or we’d be eating their strudel all the time:
Spring water? Why?
Similar, the mist worm (you walk through the pipe).
Food! The obligatory (for central PA) Italian sausage, pierogie, haluski, stuffed cabbage, and funnel cake stand (seriously):
I didn’t get pierogies yesterday. I may today at Boalsburg. Trust me. There will be pierogies. And haluski. Without a doubt.
Here’s why I didn’t get many pics of displays. See all the people? And that was yesterday — Friday. There will be five times as many people there today and tomorrow (which is why we’re not going back).
Right on the northwest edge, one guy has wood and metal sculptures that are kind of neat. Here are a couple:
