Dogwood Festival


One of the fun things about travel is you never know exactly what you will see and who you will meet. -Or where you' might end up!
When the opportunity to jump into a festival presented itself, we took it! The Siloam Chamber of Commerce was very nice when they heard we were passing through and learned about our mission, and they invited us to their Dogwood Festival. Terry and I arose early and set up for photos on a really nice grassy area of the park, right beside the entertainment stage. The clouds threatened rain, but things stayed dry, and the overcast sky provided a nice protective shade from the sun. -And the lights in the time machine looked really good in the subdued lighting!
Met lots of nice folks, and a handful of real 'Back to the Future' fans. Answered questions about TeamFox, PD, DeLoreans, and Terry's sister brought us a fantastic lunch just as my stomache was starting to think about a fill up. We departed around 5pm, and I'm guessing we raised about $300. just by seizing the opportunity to join the festival.
