German Fest and others

One of several "Faeries" at the festival.  They were floating around advertising the up coming Two Rivers Renaissance Faire.  It's against City regulations to sprinkle Faire Dust in the streets, so they were empty handed.

The Accordian band was entertaining with comedy and music.  A great group!

The sign

Nancy, of Les and Nancy. They entertained us for an hour.

The German Restaurant that sponsored the Festival

Chicken dance, anyone?

These young ladies were working with a food vendor.  Good dancers!

This man played the Tuba, the Trombone, and Trumpet.  And sang well.  Very talented guy, and could Chicken dance with the best of them!

I think this is a German Do-se-do.

Pat wore her Arizona Riding boots.

Several people enjoyed the dancing

Rod Erickson and Buzz Goertzen.  Dualing Yodelers!  They both are outstanding!  I think it was a tie.

After the busy day, Pat did Maryls' hair for church tomorrow.  These aren't exactly in order, they pics came from 2 cameras.

Saturday at the German Fest in Yuma

Mostly food booths, but some local Artisans were there selling their products

80 degrees, and not much shade.  It was worth it.

h wit

Jimmie Dee's.  Bar with a lot of history...in Old Town.  Close to where the 3:10 to Yuma pulls in.

This couple did an outstanding job!  Good music.

The Idaho Yodeler.  We've know Buzz Goertzen for 26 years!  First met him when he was the lead entertainer at a motorcycle rally.  Since then, we've ridden with him, eaten with him, and enjoyed his music a lot of different places throughout the country.

I thought Jim was blowing on the coals to make them hotter, but he was just taking out the ashes....

I've been riding my bicycle every day.  These cows are just below the canal road where I've been riding. 

Really splurged on my diet today.  This is the first and only burger I've had in a Loooong time!  The Orgega Chili really added some zing.

Redd and I rode the little dirt bikes up to Martinez  Lake and explored around the area some.  We did have a good lunch

Boat harbor on the Lake, which is really just a part of the Colorado River

Big Gun at the entrance to the Proving Grounds. The projectile this baby shoots weights 600 pounds!

Pat visiting with Katie in their Recreation area :-)  Katie is clean Alpaca wool so she can card it and turn it into yarn.  Clever little Mountain Girl.

Katie is pretty "crafty". :-)

The new trailer had a bit of a sewage problem since it has sat with the tanks full for a long time.  Took a little help from this guy, but "Casa Ayers" is now draining properly.

There are a LOT of RVs in Yuma County.  This guy came down from Quartzsite to do his probing.
