Wilmington's Banana Split Festival

Last week I went to a banana split festival. It was so much fun. First, we went to see the booths.
We went to all kinds of booths. A lot of them had jewelry and some had clothing like shoes, hats, T-shirts, and hair stuff. Then we saw one booth that had free cookies with a donation. The cookies were good but we had to get a banana split. I got two scoops of ice cream and it was chocolate. Then I got lots of hot fudge and got whip cream and of course cherries. So good!


Then we met my aunt and uncle there. We all went to see the old fashion cars. We saw all kinds, like trucks and vans and even just cars.
There was one that they let my uncle get in it and honk the horn. It was so loud me and my aunt screamed. My aunt said, “Next time warn me when you are going to do that!” A lot of people just looked at us!


The car was from the army. It was small. My nana got some pictures of me and some cars. Then we went to the games and some were rip-offs because I couldn’t win any of them. So I decided to go play on the bounce houses.
I went in to the challenger’s course and I ran through a plastic bar and got stuck! Then after that I noticed there were two more tickets left. I played this one game which was also a rip-off, but there was one game that I won and it wasn’t a rip-off. I won a football but I traded it for a yellow smiley face ball! I also got to pick a duck with a certain number and what ever number that was it would go with a bin and I got a two, so I got to pick a prize from that bin and I got play dough. Of course you have to get cotton candy, which we got. I also got a balloon. The festival was so fun!

Have you ever been to a festival? And what kind of festival was it?
PS from Nana... Wilmington, Ohio has bragging rights for inventing the banana split! It's about a half-hour drive from Xenia.

That sounds like it was so much fun. I love festivals. When we lived in Milwaukee it used to be called the "City of Festivals" because we had so many. My favorite is one that a school near by us has every year for Memorial Day. They have games and rides but mostly they have homemade polish food and bakery and crafts. That is what I love. This is an awesome post. Thanks! When you can come and visit Sasha for her "Thursday Thoughts"

Ali,
Sounds like fun. I love festivals especially the ones that sell things that people have made themselves. Next week we have one here where I live called Arts in the Park. Artists come from a lot of places and sell paintings and jewelry and crafts. I am looking forward to it.

You need to take some photos of your nana doing some crazy stuff at the festivals and put her picture on here too.

I have been to all kinds of festivals like arts, wine, music and even an oyster festival. Oh, and I almost forgot, an our Onion Festival is next month. They were all fun. I've even been to a World's Fair.
Glad you had fun,
