I think I forgot to post my pictures from my last trip to SDC in October and November. Here you go!

Great pics! The picture of the butter sculpture guy was taken right in from of my mom's booth last year, see the Craftival Festmen thread. The butter sculpture has a metal frame inside it. If  you think about it, the butter legs wouldn't be strong enough to hold up the cow's body, if it was solid butter. Nonetheless, that guy is a great artist. I think he said that he can reuse the butter a couple of times.

That's also a great pic of Doug Bracher, the barrel guy. He is very picturesque, easily one of the most photographed craftsmen ever! His loading up procedure after the crafts festival always involves getting half a dozen guys to help him load up his stuff, it's very heavy.  Crafts Festival Trivia: On the last day of the festival, my mom sends her various grandkids over to Doug's, because he always has a fire going. They are supplied with graham crackers, Hershey's bars and marshmallows. It's S'mores for all.

Did Carrie A. Nation run Carrie's Candles?

Very cool! I would love to have s'mores with Doug and yes I enjoy taking is photograph. I emailed him all the pictures I took of him last year. The butter sculptor said he uses the butter for fuel after it's all said and done.

I enjoyed your memory post. Reading about other people's experiences at SDC is always fun. I got so excited when I saw someone on here that was as attached to the green trams as I am. Too bad their gone. Glad to have you on the site!
