Vacation 2008 - Day Five - 12 July (Part 2)

This morning after picking up Phyllis’s brother Richard in Portland we made our way to Lisbon Maine for the Annual Moxie Festival. We arrived on the Silver Anniversary of the Lisbon Festivities. It was quite a day. We did not arrive until about noon.

Here is a link to the pictures we took during the Festival1 and Festival2

9:00 - 3:00 p.m. - Pony Rides - by Maine Trailriders - No Pictures of Phyllis or David

9:00 - 2:00 p.m. - Moxie Day Book Sale - Yes there is a bookshelf of Moxie Books

9:00 - 3:00 p.m. - Children's Games consisting mostly of bouncing - Phyllis got sick watching

9:15 a.m. -------- National Anthem sung by Shawn Arndt - was disappointed to see that though there was a patriotic moment there was no prayer of blessing - I am sure I could have written a Moxie specific prayer

10:00 - 2:00 p.m. - Face Painting * Phyllis thought they might be able to improve my countenance

11:00 a.m. -------- Moxie Recipe Contest- I have my own simple winter time Moxie recipe (pour one can of Moxie in a microwave safe container - do not cover - heat but do not let it come to a boil) this makes a tasty alternative to hot chocolate

12:00 - 1:00 p.m. - Elvis is in the Building - this was a wonderful hour and my brother-in-law screamed and screamed and nearly passed out with joy (SEE PICS)

1:00 p.m. --------- Inkaswasi - Peruvian guitar, wooden flutes and pan flutes ( this provided a much needed one hour sit down and music to smile to. (SEE PICS)

2:00 p.m. --------- "Moxie" Chuggin' Challenge - we thankfully missed this event

2:00 p.m. --------- Coastal Cloggers or Dancing ladies ages 60 and up - no comeback on this allowed
