Jade Festival, 2008

NINETEEN DAYS, AND COUNTING!!

I have decided to keep moving this post at the top of my blog every so often, until the festival is over, at which time, it will move back to its rightful place. It is a reminder of the event to come. All the good food, music, early Christmas shopping, and family fun. A new silk hoop painting booth is being added for the kids! Scroll down for the most current blog.

Planning (which goes on much of the year) has switched into high gear for the 17th Annual Jade Festival to be held this year on Friday, October 10th from 12-6; Saturday, October 11th from 10-6; and Sunday, October 12th from 10-5.

Kirk has set up a website which lists the musicians that will be playing. See the Jade Festival link in my blog roll.

This is a preview of this year’s postcard, taken by moi at last year’s festival. I am told my choice of postcard is quite controversial, despite giving the Jade Festival committee more than a month to suggest another subject.

  • Another beautiful picture Kate. I love how the green of the jade glows aganist the B&W.

    I have two pieces of jade I treasure. One is the hand polished palm sized piece Spence gave me 1000 years ago (well it feels that long LOL), and the second piece a near twin of the other that Danielle gave me on my 50th birthday. I carry them both with me always, and when i'm stressed I put either piece in my hand and rub it with my thumb. They are very soothing.
