Fun events?
Yesterday Joels girlfriend (Shannon)and I went to the local annual horse auction for a while.
We had no intention of buying, but I know many horse people who I see there and I really do enjoy just checking out the horses! I try to go to this every year simply because I enjoy it. In fall, we always go as a family to an orchard where we ride hay wagons out into the hills to pick apples. We've done this since I was a kid. What annual events do you make a point of attending? Are these traditions your parents passed down or new ones you've developed yourself?

My hubby and I want to make a tradition of going to the local Celtic Festival, but we didn't get to this year. Maybe next year...
Also, we go to Pittsburgh a few times a year, but that's not really a special event. It's just to see his family and to have some stress-free fun for a few days.

My sister and I make it out to the Austin City Limits music festival, this'll be our 3rd year and I can see us continuing this for years to come. But no big family traditions, maybe we can find something to make into one...

I can't think of anything that we do every year except, our small town has homecoming every year and we always go to it. There's a small parade (with tractors and the fire trucks!) and carnival rides. There's mini-class reunions and kids games, car exhibitions, and a bean feed with a dance on the square. It's an all day affair. Since my our families have both been in our community for years we spend a lot of our time chatting with friends and neighbors. It's very small town but we enjoy it!

I guess we do have our county fair. That's always fun and I've gone every year.
