What a busy week we had. I mean there is busy and then there is crazy busy! The reason that it was so busy was because we had our local town festival this weekend and it was all hands on deck as they say. This was the third year that our town has put on this festival and it sure seems like everyone has such a great time. And even with some heavy sprinkles were in the air during the parade, the Irish Gods helped out and we had good weather for the weekend.
So if you are reading this post you probably were wondering if I died or ran away or something because I haven’t posted an updated like forever right? Well even though some of the days this week the thought of running away sounded like not such a bad idea, I was busy trying to help out as much as I could without getting in the way and would run out of energy at the end of the night before I could open my computer.
Now I don’t know if you’re from a smaller town or not, but if you are I’m sure you’ll know what I mean that everyone tries to help each other out when they need the help. I mean in our small town of around 450 people, there is only so many people to do all the jobs needed to put on such an undertaking as a festival and if everyone just helps out a little bit, it sure makes the job easier.
The weekend was packed with a parade, volleyball tournament, dodgeball tournament, Historical displays, bands, bands, and more bands, little kids tractor pull, cake walk, bingo,bag tournament, and many other things. I could go on and on with all the festivities, but it might be easier for you to just check out the Facebook page “Lawler Irish Festival”. Sometimes pictures are so much easier to show someone how much of a good time everyone had than trying to describe it.
But now it’s over and after a relaxing bon fire eating cupcakes that were won in the cake walk, it’s almost 11:30 on a Sunday night and time to get some sleep. We’ve got a lot of things to catch up on this week 🙂
