Our first
Co-community Spring Festival on May 31, 2003 was a
HUGE success!! We had over 80 adults and over 30
kids & teens. In spite of threatening weather
(and an afternoon thunderstorm) everyone had a great
time. There was great food (courtesy of Sean
McCormick and all the pot-luck contributors), music and
dancing in the barn, arts & crafts, games, hay-wagon
rides, and much more.
Below are some photos
(courtesy of Tim Indart) from the afternoon's
festivities.
You can also see a beautiful collage of pictures from the
festival put together by my good friend,
Brendan Bowie.
Phila and Erick Hoopes celebrated their
17th wedding anniversary that
day. Our son Andrew made sure to
congratulate them. |

The kids played human wheelbarrow.
Special thanks to Ray Daffner for organizing
all the kids' games: |

Our daughter Lauren and her cousin Alex
Kerby performed the "Eagle Dance" which they choreographed themselves.
Their costumes were made by Chrissy and my sister
Julie Kerby: |

Our miniature donkeys loved the attention
they got from all the
kids: |

The afternoon thunderstorm turned our
barnyard into a mud pit. But even
that was fun for these
three: |
