This alpaca looked me straight in the eye but would not smile when I said, "say cheese."Something For Everyone at Harvest Festivals
The big name entertainers had left with great impressions of the now famous Bethel Woods Center For The Arts and eight great Sundays followed this entertainment with the 10th Annual Harvest Festival where we all enjoyed local fresh food, talented performers, hand crafted treasures and many community initiatives.
Local farmers and artisans were presented with a great venue and buying locally brings much to the local economy.
This weekend tradition definitely marks our transition from summer into fall and offered us great food and the opportunity to share time with local authors, artists and performers.
The event schedule from August 24 through October 12 brought us everything from the Wine Festival to the annual Chili Cook-Off.
All of the Sunday events were outstanding.
Being an ardent animal lover we got very fascinated by the beauty of the alpacas at the August 31 Alpaca Festival where there were exhibits featuring live alpacas and alpaca breeders who answered questions and gave interesting information on the history of alpaca farming.
Spinners and weavers demonstrated how the fiber is made and a boutique offered shawls, scarves, hats, gloves, sweaters, jackets and dresses.
We found the alpacas as being cute and attractive.....just love their colors and they seem to have such a good temperament.
We were told they love the climate here in Sullivan County and the cold weather does not bother them as they are originally from an area that has cold weather. We've were told that they are fun to be around and are very playful at times.
All just part of the great annual Harvest Festival at Bethel Woods which is in part supported by the Gerry Foundation.
Thanks Bethel Woods for a great summer and fall venue.
