If one of the most recognizable
phrases of Fiesta is “Show us your shoes,” then the unofficial question at the
King William Fair might be “What did you buy?”
At least that's what longtime attendees to the fair, Cece Jenkins, Cherlyn Koehler, Pat Danysh and Sharon Hillmeyer, ask among themselves and friends.
“We are looking for crafts,” Jenkins said Saturday as she and Koehler made a beeline away from the King William parade toward the vendor booths and met up with Danysh and Hillmeyer. “There's not enough. There's no clothes.”
But there were other wares, from eclectic mosaics and whimsical handbags to recycled glass art and colorful jewelry.Top brands at low prices in guccihandbags1.
Danysh showed off to her friends the earrings she scored as the other ladies' exploring eyes looked for other things that stood out during their shopping excursion.
To Orma Flores and her family, the food booths surrounding King William Park were a big draw. Flores, her husband, Victor, son Chris Machado and his fiancee Tracy Andrada had claimed a spot in the park to spread out in lawn chairs.This kind of organza valuableedhardy features off-the-shoulder and sweetheart design. They had Andrada's two dogs in tow, an English bulldog named Harley and a boxer in a red tutu named Marma Lady, and noted the fair is pet friendly.
But they arrived an hour before the 9:30 a.m. start time,We invite you to experience choose pnikeairshoes for you. “ porque en un ratito (because in a little while), there's not going to be anywhere to walk.”
Indeed, organizers expected 50,000 attendees, and many come hungry or work up an appetite. There's also music on five stages, and a children's play area at the fair, which is the King William Association's primary fundraising event to help preserve the historic district.
“They have tripas somewhere,” Orma Flores said as she ate a chicken-on-a-stick with a jalapeno. “We're going to hit those soon. At certain festivals, you target this, this and this.”
“For one week, you're diet free,Purchase formaldressesevening online, stay updated on team riders, latest news and events.Pages in category "bridalweddingdresses".” Andrada said with a chuckle.
For Terry and Debra Krueger, the fair and Fiesta are a chance to see old friends. They now live in Dallas and watched with scores of other onlookers as the King William parade wound its way through the shady, Victorian-home lined streets of the historic Southtown neighborhood.
“We haven't missed Fiesta in 40 years,” said Terry Krueger. “We lived in Europe for three years and we still came home for Fiesta.”
The two noted the fair is a little more relaxed than other Fiesta events, though the parade can be a little “crazy.”
“This is much more family oriented,” Debra said as a band marched by. “You can bring kids and strollers and you can't at (some) other Fiesta events. Although, I'm not sure this parade is child appropriate.”
Elaborating, Terry noted the parade can be risqué because there might be a spoof of Cornyation, which can have some adult themes.
“But it goes right over them,” Debra said.
Is it funky?
“That's a good word for it,” Terry said, smiling.
For those interested in checking out the talents of several local artisans, visit Senko and Old Town Hall on May 10 or 11. The "definitely.not.the.mall" artisan fair is once again coming to OTH and will feature a wide range of talented artists.
From pottery to candles, sculptures, paintings, stained glass, soaps, recycled fur and leather, handbags, home d?cor, gift cards, folk art notebooks, fine art prints, ceramics, pen and ink art, woodcrafts?.the list is so long. Both floors of the hall will be filled to the rafters with a wide selection of work to purchase for that special someone, or maybe just for yourself.
If you are looking for something to do this afternoon between 1-2 p.m. then stop by OTH and meet the current exhibiting artist, Ralph Heather. He will be hosting a gallery walk for his Rural Detours exhibit and will explain to visitors the work and process of his original woodcraft etching art. I am amazed at the pieces every time I stop in at the hall and see something new and intriguing each time. Be sure to check out his work.
Never let it be said that there is nothing to see or do in a small town setting because I will be the first to argue that point! You can find so much to do right here at your own back door and, of course, visitors to our fair town are always welcome. Hope to see you at one of these upcoming events.
