    That whole western theme is hysterical to see you guys doing overseas!

      I wondered what the reaction would be from your side of the pond Mitch!

    A very well attended festival. Lovely pictures.

      Thanks, Sadje.

      It was, people come from far and wide each year.

        Awesome 👏🏼

      Why not? We certainly enjoy a lot more events than our neighbouring and considerably larger towns!

    I love the last pic. I have driven all of Rte. 66 except for the St. Louis to Springfield trek. Quite the ride! Looks like you had an enjoyable day.

    What fun. I would have loved to participated in this fun. You do the coolest things.

    Thank you for hosting the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.

    Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday and rest of the week, Keith. 🙂

      A lot goes on in our town – that why I like living here so much!

    What a fun festival! 😀 A little taste of old-time USA in England. And you even had a Dolly Parton impersonator. Whoever organized all of this did a nice job. Your town has a beautiful beach area too!

      She was pretty good!

      That was high tide, it looks very different when it ebbs leaving vast areas of sand and rockpools.

    I would have sworn you were in Texas- until I realized there was not one ‘Red Hat’ in the crowd! What a fun event!

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings September 12, 2025 / 14:42

      Next I’ll wear a red hat so you think I’m in Texas! It was amazing.

    How wonderful and such fun for all! My Sweetie would have loved to be there.

      I wish he could have been – you too of course!

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings September 12, 2025 / 15:14

      So much goes on! It’ll slow down a bit now that Summer’s gone, just a little!

    What a festival! Love the cowboy hats

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings September 12, 2025 / 15:17

      I really should have worn one myself! Next year perhaps.

    How fun – we went to a think like that earlier in the year- it’s so nutty but a surprisingly good time!

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings September 12, 2025 / 15:25

      It’s fun, pretending to be a cowboy – or are they called cowpersons these days?

    My favorite theme. Brilliant photos, Keith!

    It’s such a beautiful setting along the water and seeing all the people dressed in their outfits, some a bit crazy too! What we want to know is where did the Minnesota Moonshine come from? We have never seen it here in Minnesota, LOL!

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings September 12, 2025 / 15:37

      I have no idea, but at 200% proof I think it would be wise to give it a miss!

  12. Crow's avatar Crow September 10, 2025 / 14:27

    Looks like a fun way to spend a day. Love the country theme. Dolly was an excellent impersonator.

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings September 12, 2025 / 15:43

      It was, and the weather was kind which helped! She was good as were the other musical acts

    I got upset when my local church hosted an appreciation celebration for volunteers and used a Western theme; saw all those easterners in cowboy getup and gingham dresses and boots. Then I realized, “Imitation is the highest form of flattery,” so I sent the leaders a ‘Thanx to you’ note!🤠 Gotta visit Bexel-on-Sea sometime when Anita and I go over the pond one of these days.

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings September 12, 2025 / 15:53

      Indeed it is! I’m ready and waiting to greet you!

    Looks like a lot of fun. And I love the Dolly impersonator!

    A really great turn out for this event. Pretty complete western setup with horse and horserides and lots of western garb. Great photos Keith.

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings September 12, 2025 / 16:14

      It was packed, where they all came from I’ve no idea – it was like the population of our small town doubled for a day! You name it, we had it!

      • Suzette Benjamin's avatar Suzette Benjamin September 12, 2025 / 17:35

        Awesomeness! Words of festivals spread quickly.

  17. Heidrun 🌻's avatar Heidrun 🌻 September 11, 2025 / 08:14

    Wished, we could be there… how funny and wonderful.

    Understood very well, the look back.

    • Keith's Ramblings's avatar Keith's Ramblings September 12, 2025 / 16:31

      Thanks so much, you’d have loved it I’m sure!
