Finger Lakes Fiber Arts Festival

I've always loved the fall season.... brightly colored leaves, frost on the pumpkin, hayrides, apple picking and fiber festivals. Last Saturday, Mr. Effer and I went to the Finger Lakes Fiber Arts Festival in Hemlock, NY, and had a great time.

We saw silk worms in action. They're so darn ugly but very soft to the touch, like velvet. Of course there was some toe-tapping music provided by a couple of cute kids.
Wagon rides.....
An alpaca or two....
And we just had to top off the day with some fried ice cream.... deeeeelicious!!!

Can you believe I didn't buy any fiber or yarn? The weather hasn't turned cool enough for the spinning bug to bite me yet.

Have a great week!
