Yesterday, I had an uber cool time at the Yankee Peddler Festival in Canal Fulton, OH. Basically, it's this big park full of vendors that dress up from like revolutionary times and sell weird, rustic crafts like primitive soaps or like wooden calligraphy or some shit.
Bunch of people in pilgrim like outfits, white people dressed as Native Americans, and a fluTE PLAYER NAMED MICHAEL SEARCHING BEAR. (hes white lol) Listened to some hymns over banjo playin, and learned what a tricorn hat and cockhat are and why they're completely useless.
Clearly, I'm a total sucker for anything remotely old (aaand talking to cool old people) and this place catered to both. I bought some stuff that I really like so why not share it woohoo
Alright so first things first (im the realest). My mom is lame and skipped this, but I sat down in the back to watch this chill ass couple sing some hymns. She was alright (she sang and played this weird scrapy thing) and this dude's banjo playin was TOP NOTCH. 8/10 would recommend
They had little teepee museum like exhibit thangs with I guess how wee old 'Mericans lived. Had some killer lanterns and that really cool chair thing made out of blue, red, and yellow painted sticks up above there. It looks very uncomfortable, probably better than the ground though. Also: they were very colorful, stylish people for how little they had 10/10 for style
Animamals and fur and antlers and weapons, oh my. Someone call PETA
vegan rachel: 0/10 :( // actual rachel: 9/10 COOL AS SHIT
you can look at this website to see some better pictures ---> xx
ONTO THE BAG O SWAG
all of these are 10/10 and so are the people who sold them
!!! these guys are all rock necklaces !! the 2 on the outside were both $1 (plus a dollar each for the cords) and the dude in the middle was $10 ! they were also selling mugs with the faces on them, but they were pricey and a bitch gotta save money
these little flower guys were $3 (plus tax dAMMIT). i'd never heard of this thing caaallled "quilling" but it's pretty sweet. so they roll up paper and make whatever they want and it's lovely and delicate.
