Windsor Harvest Festival

How is it that I've lived in Northern Colorado my whole life and I had never heard of the Windsor Harvest Festival? I was looking online to see if Windsor had any rec classes coming up that I could maybe sign the kids up for and I came across an ad for the Windsor Harvest Festival. The festival runs over labor day weekend and it includes a hot air balloon launch, fireworks, art and craft show, rides for kids, parade, and concerts! Seriously! How fun is that? We weren't able to make it to everything, big bummer and I will definitely make sure we can fit it all in next year. We did go to the parade! This parade still throws out candy to the kids! Alexis had a blast chasing after all the candy and collecting it in her Gymboree bag. She kept asking us if more candy was coming, like she needed any more! The parade was 2 hours long! 2 HOURS! I couldn't believe it had been that long but with all the candy throwing and all the fun floats and music the kids stayed entertained throughout the whole thing, I couldn't believe it. After the parade we went to Main Park and checked out the arts and crafts show. We bought a flower arrangement for our fireplace, love it! The lady we bought it from wouldn't stop talking Cory's ear off, what a sweet ole lady! We bought Alexis a pair of butterfly wings (they were only 5 bucks! WHAT?) And we also got the kids some really adorable umbrella's and had their names put on them. Poor Cory had to carry all of this back to the car. We listened to some music, ate way expensive food that didn't taste very good at all and we went home. It was a great day! Windsor Harvest Festival you blew my expectations out of the water!
