Some people belive if you live in a small town there is NOTHING to do! Well that is absolutly not ture. There was so much to do yesterday (Saturday, May 17, 2008) that we could not do it all.

1. First Missionary Baptist Church had a 5k. Its nice to see the African American Church organzing and pulling off and event like this especially in our downtown.

2. The Delta Queen came to town today. Its always good to have that boat in your front yard. As always the passgenger we eagar to see what downtown Henderson has to offer. I wonder how many of them will be carrying shoe bags when the return from the ship?

3. Homegrown Bluegrass Festival in Audubon Park. Hats of to Audubon Park staff for creating such a nice festival. The food especially the spiral potatoe chips were excellent. I was really hungry too. The music was good too. I listen to a set in which Barry Denton from Henderson played. We are so fortunate in this town to have so much good talent.

4. Newburgh Indiana (Across the Ohio River from Henderson) had a incredible little festival called “Historic Newburgh Wine and Arts Festival”. We got there late and didn’t have as much time as we wanted to (mainly because we had so much to do in Henderson). We did get to to check out the art and sample some wine from about 10 different reginal vendors. We did buy a bottle of some very dry wine that I sampled and really liked.

Henderson artist Ginger Adams and Chris Thomas had art work on display at the festival.

We learned about a upcoming “Strawberry” festival coming up next weeked we will probably go and check out as well. Wonder how the strawberry crop is going to be this year with all the rain.
