Having Fun at the 2014 ZestFest

I spent a big slice of Saturday right in my own little town, Taylor, Texas as I covered their 2014 ZestFest.  The downtown area was closed for the day, giving visitors plenty of room to roam.   Among those in attendance was Bella, a Teacup chihuahua,  a real featherweight for her mom.   Taylor’s Folkloric Dance Collaborative troupe again put on a fine set of dances for the audience.   They’re an award-winning group led by Alma Holiday.   I love watching them perform.    The Blackland Quilt Guild was also there to show off some of the beautiful quilts they’ve put together.   The group members do some spectacular work.    Taylor’s Boy Scout Troop 167 brought their teepee for folks to check out.   The gent inside the teepee is Ray Ochoa, one of the troop’s scout leaders who also happens to be Apache.    One treat for kids I’d never seen before was something called Bubble Runners, where you’re zipped into a big bubble, then placed in a huge kiddie pool to rock and roll, staying dry throughout.    Fun stuff.   These are some photos taken for my friends at the Williamson County Sun
