When you live in the Piney Woods of South-East Texas and the local state forest has a festival you must go.
Today the W G Jones State Forest held its annual Fall Festival.
By Texas standards it was a small affair.
Children were the center of attention.
Smokey Bear was there to greet visitors.
There were many volunteers, face painting and game booths, a petting zoo and Texas style hay rides.
But more importantly it was time to celebrate and support one of our natural treasures.
Worldwide, fires have taken a toll on forests,
and Texas was not spared.
Glad to see this sign stored in the barn for the next months.
I guess this one has done its job.
Soft drinks, popcorn, barbecue sandwiches.
You know you won't go hungry…
There were talented musicians!
But ??
Y'all, this is Smokey's party!
