Chokecherry Festival

 the Saturday after Labor Day is Chokecherry Festival time in Lewistown...this year was the 24th and it was pretty fun.  I wished we'd registered and ran the fun run - I like the lime green shirts!
 Here is the far east end of Main Street - main street closed off for 8 blocks - all of downtown.
 We got a kick out of Harold's Hot Mustard - no we didn't buy any!
 This is the official chokecherry pit spitting contest - king of gross actually - we saw a spit of 50 feet! See the cute green shirts?
These are Christmas trees made out of barbed wire! - ouch!  You could buy coyote pelts, skunk, etc. brass statues, goat soap and lotion, wooden sleds, etc.  Lots of good food - we bought lunch from the high school FFA booth - they gave out free brownies with their sandwiches!  Dad by the alpacas - they use the wool for yarn and were selling socks for 25-46 dollars each - must be awesome socks!
