Blueberry Arts Festival 2008

Ketchikan’s annual Blueberry Arts Festival enjoyed sunny weather and a continuous crowd of people coming by all day long. It was held in the indoor/outdoor parking garage of the State Courthouse Building. We shared in the making of quilted table toppers (runners and squares), small wall hangings, and Pam’s crocheted snowflake ornaments. Pam’s quilted American flag was hung as a backdrop to our booth. The American flag quilt was not for sale but there were some inquiries from a few people who were very interested in it.


During the early afternoon Uncle Chris and little Sara decided to spend sometime together at a local place called Rotory Beach. We spent our time exploring the tidal pools and and attempting to make a sand castle. Sara really liked learning about the little sea creatures swimming around the tidal pools as well as the plants in the surrounding area. She enjoyed herself so much it was hard for us to pull away to finish off the Blueberry Festival with mom and Aunt Pat.
