It's a three day affair -- a parade Friday night and Saturday and Sunday
is the street festival with a hundred booths and thousands of festival goers.
Every festival needs good things to eat and Good Ol' Days is no exception. We heard rumor that there were deep fried Snickers and Oreos but we didn't indulge. We did, however, have a deep fried foot long corn dog!

And of course, good things to drink!
There are pony rides for the children . . . .
And a carnival!

And at our National Historic Site, we were thrilled to see a Chinook helicopter land admist the buildings of the 19th century.
An Army chopper, once landed, they opened up the inside so that people could see the helicopter "up close and personal"!
But the Fort was more than just about the helicopter, it had exhibits of military past and present. This is Military transporation 1842 meeting Military transporation 2010!
Another interesting exhibit was the soldiers of all the wars . . . from the Revolutionary War through the current one. It was interesting to compare weapons and uniforms!
All small towns have their summer festivals and we're proud of ours . . . . and since it's Outdoor Wednesday and since it is an Outdoor Festival, I'm sharing this with Susan at A Southern Daydreamer. Join her and see what other outdoor events there are this Wednesday!

Your festival looks like a lot of fun and educational as well.
Too bad my parents were out of town-- my dad would have loved that. I love Ft. Scott.
Local festivals are some of the best things about summer. I looks like yours was a lot of fun! Love all those horses and food booths!
Such festivals are favorites in our home, too. Loved seeing the pics of yours.
That looks like a whole lot of fun. Love these summer festivals--I always get the kettle corn. Happy Outdoor Wed.
