On the way to the country farm market, the Blog Tech and I passed through a small rural town.
The first thing we saw was this. I almost wrecked my car.
Whoa baby!!!
Then I saw this cute little shop. With that, we decided we had to stop.
It was so charming inside. Notice the potato sacks used as drapes.
It held a combination of new and old.
Six of those grain sacks now reside with me! And they were only $2.00 each.
A cute little Halloween sign.
We smelled sausage cooking somewhere so we took off on foot to explore. We found some nice Victorian houses.
These people sure like purple.
Score....we found the sausage source.
We were so early that a lot of the tents we not set up yet.
You can look at this street and imagine the bustle of the crowd in a couple hours.
The firehouse had a sidewalk sale.
The churches were hosting bake sales.
Looks like this guy found the sausages too.
This was my favorite booth. This woman does some seriously cute things with gourds and pumpkins.
I wanted the big one but it wouldn't fit in my car.
This did not tempt me one bit. I don't want to be in a tiny trailer with slithering anythings!
This guy set up his own little yard sale tent.
I snagged these from him for $4.00.
You can't have an Oktoberfest without a dude dressed in lederhosen. Well, ok.....maybe these are khaki shorts but he has the rest of the costume down pat.
And seemed to be proud of it too. He is the Oktoberfest cryer.
And the Blog Tech dove on this one.
Click to enlarge. He chose the birch beer with a scoop of vanilla. All of the sodas were homemade. Blog Tech heaven.
The Blog Tech brought a few of these home.
Penguin painted gourds.*Tomorrow's post will be dated today because I am leaving very early to head back out to the country to visit another small town. I will post pics of the trip when we return.
**Next week's giveaway will be a basket made up of things I find on tomorrow's trip.
***Remember to enter the this weeks giveaway by clicking on the button on my sidebar. A lot of the stuff in the basket came from this small town.

Nobody does anything fun out here unless you count hanging up their dead deer.
Have a great day now!
