Did you know that my hometown of Pekin, IL, is the MARIGOLD CAPITOL OF THE WORLD?
We have been to the MARIGOLD FESTIVAL many times:
And! Get excited already for next year because it is the 30th anniversary of my reign as MISS MARIGOLD, so you know the fest will be extra exciting for me. (Kidding and also very much NOT KIDDING).
The highlights of the Marigold Festival for me are the parade and Art in the Park, so those are the high points we hit, along with Double D's ice cream. IHO of a Friday theme, here are my 5 Marigold Fest loves:
1. THE CRAFTS
2. The friends. Behold, my bestie since first grade who took us all out to lunch and added Dorothy to her girl gang for the day
3. The fam time:
4. The proximity to Bradley
Sarah, your outfit is just ADORABLE! You look fabulous <3
ReplyDeleteI agree, your outfit is adorable and I love the twinning with D moment! I clicked back through and I can't believe there's no photographic evidence of your reign as Miss Marigold. I think we need a 30 year retrospective! (I was a runner up for Jr Snowdown Queen and the loss still haunts me)
ReplyDeleteFUN! But I agree, we need photos of you as Miss Marigold!
ReplyDeleteIf I was ever Miss Anything I would never shut up about it. A marigold festival! How cinematic.
