Well it's been busy past month adjusting to a new job, driving to Rochester everyday, and adding a puppy to our lives. We were ready for a weekend outing. A few weekends ago went to the Springwater 7th annual Fiddler's Fair. We heard about this fair from two sources: first from the maple farm we…
Dogwood Festival and Orienteering
This past weekend was our local city Dansville's spring festival. Unlike the larger cities the local festivals are more children and family oriented. Most events for the Dogwood festival centered around children's performances, magic shows, choir or choral performances, and city softball or baseball games. There was also a small carnival being held at a local…
Rochester Lilac Festival
It is finally and truly spring here. Once spring comes so do the festival, one or two every weekend. This past weekend L and I celebrated another semester of teaching over by going to the Rochester Lilac Festival. This is the largest Rochester city festival lasting two full weeks and weekends. It takes place at Highland Park…
Ithaca-fest

Two festivals and Korean BBQ
Every three months or so we find ourselves driving the hour and forty five minutes north to Rochester. Whether it is to get some grocery goods, or eat a meal out we can't get locally, or to go to a big event it's worth the drive. Although we drove up to go kayaking (see kayaking…
Strawberry Festival: an up and down outing
This past Saturday, Luke and I decided to go for a drive to a little town called Owego NY for their 33rd Annual Strawberry Festival. We took a scenic northern route to get there driving through small towns and farmland. Once we arrived downtown we struggled to find any form of parking and decided finally…
