| As I told you before, my family happens to be in charge of almost every festival in Middle Georgia! LOL - This one happens to be my mom's thing.She is the president of the Middle Georgia Art Association, and this weekend is the Mulberry Street Festival - a fund raiser for MGAA. Sooo... |
 |
| I headed out early this morning. I by passed the Cherry Blossom Festival and Headed straight to the Mulberry Festival |
 |
| I have my handy dandy Mulberry Street Volunteer staff shirt on - and I head to downtown Macon. (PS - Don't get this confused with the Second Saturday Festival my sister is in charge of each Sat in Gray, OR the Cherry Blossom Festival I featured last Saturday. I TOLD you our fair city loves their festivals! |
 |
| My friend Lisa met up with me at my church's parking lot. We decided to walk the 6 or 7 blocks down to the festival. Any excuse to get our exercise. Also - yes, I talked her into volunteering! |
 |
| As we were wandering the rows of amazing hand crafted items, we were blown away by the beautiful wood carved furniture. |
 |
| These pieces were absolutely phenomenal! |
 |
| I got a little side tracked by the delicious dips! |
 |
| And these hilarious "beachy" signs |
 |
| Just another good staple at any southern festival |
 |
| As well as these! |
 |
| We checked in with the Body Bling ladies from Perry, Georgia. They invited us to "model" their handywork as we walked around. I am a sucker for face paint, so I happily obliged! |
 |
| Lisa's face turned out nice also! |
 |
| It's a flying pig made out of recycled parts! |
 |
| Look who I ran into - Andy & Kristine! I've known these guys about 19 years! |
 |
| Lisa and I stopped by Acapulco -a fabulous latino restaurant on the corner of Cherry Street & Third. We needed a little hydration! |
 |
| I caught Lisa just staring out the window.. thought the pic came out pretty good! |
 |
| After lunch, we strolled along 3rd Street park and found the fountain had been turned pink for the Cherry Blossom Festival! |
 |
| More cherry blossoms |
 |
| I love that I have a friend that is not afraid to pose for pics. LOL |
 |
| I wanted this piece. These are actually items that turn into water fountains! |
 |
| Got to love fried food at festivals.. |
 |
| This was fascinating. Basically the artist takes acrylic paint, puts it on the fish, the transfer to paper. Wild! |
 |
| Ornaments made from recycled soda cans |
 |
| Not the most flattering pic - but it was really hot - My dad is sweltering on the left, mom in the middle and silly goose Glennean on the right. Middle Georgia Arts Association |
 |
| I warned you about Macon - EVERYTHING is pepto pink |
 |
| Strolling down 3rd Street |
 |
| Cherry Blossoms painted on the roads |
 |
| Taking a walk down Cherry Street |
 |
| See? The road is even painted pink.. |
 |
| If you have never had a Nuway hotdog - then you have not truly lived. |
 |
| Macon City Auditorium. I actually had my Jr/Sr prom here... ;-) |
 |
| Macon City Hall on Poplar Street |
