Morganton Festival

Every September the streets of downtown shut-down for the Morganton Festival. Every corner is lined with people who are there to enjoy the vendors that range in arts and crafts and of course yummy festival foods! The festival is only Friday night and all day Saturday with a headlining act that performs Saturday night - this year it was James Otto. We didn't stay for the music this year only because we didn't think Emma would have the attention span to enjoy it, but we did go with some friends of ours and walked around through the vendors and the kids area. The only "ride" that Allen took Emma on this year was the large slide - we're not sure how much she liked it, but it was fun to watch. I'm sure there will be more to enjoy next year when she's a little older.
