Heritage = Pork Rinds + Lawn Mowers + Dragon?

Shenandoah valley again. Man, do I love that place.

So THIS go 'round brought us to the Page County Heritage Festival in Luray.

Has anybody else noticed that "celebrate heritage" has somehow come to mean "line up your old tractors"? Page county has gone a wee further, including not only old tractors, but also old riding lawnmowers. Not that I can mock that too much. I really like the old machines. Check out this beauty.


Another part of the county's heritage is that it was once attacked by a giant purple dragon. Luckily he was tamed. Now he can attend the festival like everyone else.



And then there were the Hi-Horse Cloggers. This seems like the Appalachian version of Riverdance, doesn't it?



After the festival, we wandered over to New Market and tramped around anther civil war battlefield, as is our wont. Well, my wont anyway. Nicole wonts nothing to do with it.... except to ride the cannons.
