Whirligig '08

This past weekend our city hosted the fourth annual Whirligig festival. Wondering what a whirligig is? A whirligig is simply an object that spins or whirls. A local artist created several whirligig/art/sculpture thing-a-ma-bobs, and they can be sighted throughout our downtown district-- there is even a new whirligig park . . . and so, naturally, a festival was born. Jonathan actually served on the committee this year, and the Imagination Station is located in the heart of downtown and offers shows (demonstrations) during the festival. Additionally, our church always has a booth, where we hand out literature, meet people, and get the word out about our church. So, as you can imagine-- it was a busy weekend for Jonathan. He was, however, able to meet up with us for a little while on Saturday. We checked out the various vendor booths, let the girls play on inflated toys, and shared our once-a-year obligatory funnel cake--yum!

I can honestly say I've never heard of a Whirligig festival. Sounds like fun though. I think it's neat that your church has a booth at the festival. What a good way to reach the community.
