KENTVILLE HARVEST FEST, AIN'T NO LITTLE BIT OF RAIN STOPPIN' THEM!

I woke up at 7:00 and looked out my window to a serious rain. By 8:00 I had sent out a message to the facebook group on the wall saying that the Kentville Harvest Fest was a go rain or shine! When I got there spirits were high, the small amount of vendors that showed up were set and ready for a big day. The rain ended up around noon, but the crowd was small but determined all day. We had fun, got a little wet and got to hear Ed and Sam Coleman play the bagpipes!

Pipers Ed and Sam Coleman came in despite of the rain.

Monday I will have someone who is not a stranger to AVR who did something very nice and I'll give her a shout out after 8, I think you'll be touched by it. More stuff to win with Darius Rucker, you can win his new CD and be listening to it a full week before it goes on sale with the AVR Song of the Day that Pays, and more fun to wake up with!
