Oh, sorry you got so much rain.

Mack always says that for Bixby, the Green Corn Festival is on par with the second coming:). Tomorrow there will be a parade, turtle races, frog jumping contest, and in the evening a street dance.

Sounds like fun!

It must be the weekend for festivals coz we've got one going on too. Here it's the Keller Festival, in honor of Helen Keller, who was born here. She was struck blind and deaf by scarlet fever as a child and but later learned sign language and lip reading and went on to become a role model for blind and deaf people around the world.

A play was written about her life called 'The Miracle Worker' and it is performed at the Keller Home each night during the week of the festival. There's a parade, a car show, Arts and Crafts and lots of bad-for-you food. There's lots of music going on too, with performances at the park by local talent during the day, topped off by a Tracy Byrd concert on Saturday night.

Lee and I will probably go to the Arts and Crafts show on Saturday morning, then maybe take a stroll through the car show. I'll take the camera and show y'all the town.
