Bluegrass Blueberry Fest

If we hadn't felt like we lived in the south yet, this was definitely a southern type of experience for us. We went out to a small town, not actually that far out of Raleigh (about 40 minutes) for a bluegrass festival at a blueberry farm with our friends, also new to the south (they moved the same time we did but from IL). 

There was corn, blueberries, blueberry picking, slides, a pie eating contest, more food and music. And a lot of soaking fun. A thunderstorm rolled through briefly and soaked everyone and everything, but it was all good. When you're hot, stinky and dirty and out on a farm, rain isn't so bad. 

Anthony took 1st place and Emily 3rd place in the pie eating contest

Jeff and Tony very happy after their delicious burgers

Pie eating contest: Em & Anthony were chosen to participate. Kyle had no interest. Annie wanted to participate, but her number wasn't called. But there ended up being an open pie after it started so she wisely jumped in on the fun. 

More pie eating

Anthony is right next to Em and he took 1st. Em came in 3rd!!
