Celebrating Summer with RC Cola and Moon Pie!


Welcome!

The first day of summer, what better way to celebrate than with RC Cola and a Moon Pie, or better yet, why not attend the RC-Moon Pie Festival in Bell Buckle, Tennessee where there are RC Colas and Moon Pies galore!

Today, Greg and I had a wonderful time at the 20th annual RC-Moon Pie Festival.  You could just feel the excitement and positive energy throughout the whole festival.  We took lots of pictures to share with you, to give you an idea on what it was like to be there.


Here was our day, in pictures-

People got there using different modes of transportation.



Some used the festival's transportation after they got there.


The festival even attracted the famous-



I can see why-

There were all kinds of booths with all kinds of interesting things for sale.

And, then, of course, there was the food!

There was entertainment-


The winner!  This woman balanced two open cans of RC Cola on her head without spilling them!  Amazing!

Presenting the world's largest Moon Pie-


We had a wonderful time, and no doubt, so did everyone else who was there!



New friends were made.


There were all kinds of bargains.  This was only $1.00, on sale!


All kinds of delicious food was consumed.  What is this?  (The answer is at the end of this post.)*


It was all fun, but gotta go home.  Can't wait till next year!

Also, earlier in the day, on the way to the festival, we stopped by our neighbors' house to attend a bake sale which was a fundraiser for the Pregnancy Centers of Middle TN.  Nathan and Andrea were the coordinators, but some of the neighbors and others also baked all kinds of goodies for the sale.

P. S. The baked goods were wonderful.  Can't beat homemade!

*Answer to the above question:  It's a fried Moon Pie!

Positive thought: "Wherever you go, bring your own sunshine."
Thanks for visiting!  Until next Sunday, Becky
