The forecast included a heat alert, so we started out early!
We picked up a map and followed it.
Twenty rocking chairs painted by local artists
were arranged primarily around the courthouse square.
It added up to a free,
healthy,
and entertaining morning!
We also checked out a few of the thrift stores,
looking for books by Claire Bee--sports stories requested by one of our grandsons.
With no luck in THAT department,
we enjoyed a great dinner buffet before heading home.
I believe there are other towns that host similar events
in the summertime...
How about YOURS?
I believe this last chair was my favorite.
It caught my eye from a distance, and up close we discovered
that the design was burnt into the wood!
How cute. I love them all. Some people are so clever - and talented.

Isn't it just amazing how different each one feels? An artists personality really comes out in events like this.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great outing. What fun it must have been to see all the rockers in person.
