Wendish Fest Tour

Led by Jim and Billie Cunningham

Movies require Quicktime

Rendezvous at the old town square

Our first stop was at Lexington where we all changed John Sullivan's left rear tire.

Our second stop was in Giddings to set the points gap on John Anderson's car.

We went faster than a dragonfly.

Private parking at the Wendish Fest

Besides close-in parking, we received a free drink and a free snack.

A number of people inspected our horses.

The weather was perfect for drivers and tourists.

A couple dressed in their period black wedding dress.
Black represented the hard life in a marriage.

The lunch crowd was entertained by some Wendish songs.
The $9 lunch was great, and the 50 cent pecan pie was a real treat.
