Apple Butter Festival…

After a quick breakfast in the hotel restaurant, Kathy and I headed out to explore. We walked the grounds and then headed to the exercise area and spa. We confirmed our appointment and then headed back to the room. We then ran into Theresa and Tracey. We talked for a bit and then arranged to meet for the Apple Butter Festival.

We drove to Berkeley Springs and walked the Apple Butter Festival. We got some honey, pumpkin and apple butter, plum jam, and Kathy and I shared some fried Oreos. Although bad sounding, are quite delicious.

It was then back to the hotel to pick up Tracey’s friend Lisa and then we headed off to the Hedgesville Heritage Days. We walked around and checked out all the cute shops. I bought the cutest wide mouth cat. We then headed back to the hotel for a quick nap prior to dinner.

We all meet up in the hotel lobby to head to dinner. We ended up at Venice again, although I brought in Chinese from next door. Then Tracey, Kathy, Lisa, and I headed off to a bar called The Other Side. We ran into a local named Pam who gave us a tour of the two bars, introduced us to everyone (most were related), and then kept checking on us all night. We watch a band called Isle 6. They are a classic rock band and were actually very fun. After a break two of the band members came out and performed an acoustic set as 40 Proof and then it was back to the loud classic rock. We had a great time and the locals are so friendly.
