Every year Huntsville hosts the Sam Houston Folk Festival. Our family loves to go! There are people walking around in costumes from the 1800s and the kids get to see people making pottery, glass bowls, soap and much more with tools used in that time period. They also get to take a look at guns and knives and see how a real cannon operates. It is always a lot of fun and this year was no exception!
Just an example of some the demonstrations
The souvenier of choice is always a gun. But, of course, that is the only way we can be soldiers or cowboys!
Making marble art is always fun!
The festival is held at the Sam Houston Duck Pond. We go there often just to feed the ducks but we have never seen a family of ducks until today! The kids were so excited to see them and the ducks acted like we were not even there...
