Georgetown’s Red Poppy Festival

The Red Poppy Festival, in Georgetown, Texas, celebrated its 16th year with this year’s event, which concluded Sunday after a successful 3-day run.   Stormy skies occasionally lurked nearby, but thankfully for festival organizers and visitors to historic downtown Georgetown, the weather cooperated.   There was a cool parade, great antique autos, plenty of food, vendors and entertainment aplenty.   I spent a long Saturday taking photos for the Williamson County Sun.   Among my favorite finds at the festival was Gibson.  Gibson is a 1-year-old Vietnamese Miniature Pot-bellied pig, completely house-broken and friendly as can be.   He didn’t however, care a lot for the loud music.   Pig ears, I suppose, are sensitive.
