2 May 2015 - Annual Spring Fling

 

2 May 2015 - Spring Fling

Following are a selection of photos of this year's event. Under a few rows of photos are a few notes about the subjects. It was a glorious day, warm and sunny. First we checked my daughter's shop display in the front of Kean's Store (see notes below the second row of photos). After walking by all the vendors in the show proper (on the block containing the magnificent Ingham County Courthouse) wer returned to my daughter's table to relieve her for a while so she could join her family to walk around the show herself. While sitting on a bench next to her table I was joined by a fellow photographer, a truly professional photographer with a number of books to his name. I had a delightful and educational chat with Cecil E. Darnell, one of the many accomplished citizens of the fair city of Mason. One of the charms of these shows in Mason is meeting some very interesting and friendly people.

It was a beautiful Spring day here in Mason, Michigan. The bushes and flowering trees were in bloom and flowers are everywhere. The third picture above shows the Mason city square dominated by the historic Ingham County Courthouse. The vendors are set up around the courthouse on all four sides. Most of the photos below were taken of the vendors.

My wife and I paused at our daughter's table set up in the front of the popular Kean's Store. Her shop Twisted Fiber Art is located in the lower level of Kean's. A few of the balls of hand-dyed yarn (created in her shop by a unique method of dying yarn) are shown.

The Great Bread Company had a truly momumental display of breads of all sorts. You can see my wife Anne admiring the breads in the middle photo above. In the end one of the breads (Potato Rosemary Garlic) became our supper as we made some tasty ham & cheese sandwiches.
