My mom came into town a couple of weeks ago and we went to the Dogwood Festival together. I’ve never been to one before, even in Knoxville, so this was completely new to me. I was really impressed with how packed Piedmont Park was. A lot of things seem to be happening all at the same time – food, music, vendors, kids, etc. I really liked the energy that was there. I think that’s something I’ve figured out recently – I really feed off the energy of the crowd and the people around me. And this was definitely very good energy. I took a few pictures of the crowds spread out. Of course, Piedmont Park is HUGE, so this doesn’t even capture 10% of the people there.
Anyway, we mostly walked around to all the different vendor booths and looked at all the really cool art. There was some really cool pottery that I almost got. I restrained myself though, because all I need to do is spend more money and have more stuff to move. There was also booth of sheep paintings. OMG, I did everything I could to not come home with one. Seriously, aren’t they the cutest?
Other than the vendors, there was also a dog show. The dogs were amazing – jumping and weaving and catching frisbees. I tried to get a few pictures, but the only ones that really turned out were them jumping. Very cute!
