Art Fest 2008 (in Janesville)

The weekend of October 3 & 4, was ArtFest in Janesville. We went to the Friday night drumming/dance show the Ko-Thi Drummers/Dancers. It was a wonderful performance and the girls really enjoyed the show. It was two 45 minute performances with an intermission. See the link above to learn more about them. If you have the opportunity to see them, please do.

Before the performance, the girls and I walked around the hands-on exhibits and they right away saw Tony Morgan, a member of our congregation, carving wood. This is his craft and he is very good at it. Anyway, the girls saw him and right away wanted to say hello and did. Tony then let each of the girls carve a small piece of wood from a larger one and take it home. See pictures below.

Just a side note: Tony has provided our girls with wonderful instruments (noise makers as others call them) such as kazoos, slide whistles and the most odd toys, but the girls love them, play with them often and love to see Tony!
