Many of the later pictures are of the Anderwood Historic Farm itself and
are not particular to
the Celtic Festival.

| A well-dressed party. (View full to see everyone.)
| Another private gathering with party-goers in costume.
| This doctor was great, telling stories and showing tools relating to
how people were treated medically in the days of yore.
| A display of the armors worn by militaries at different times. View full-sized
to read the placards labeling each outfit.

| One booth sold many hand-made fabric dragons. The business
is Sundreams and Myths.
| Two phoenix stuffed animals from the same booth.
| Assorted funky hats. I like the mug!
| Do I know anyone with the nerve to wear a shirt like this?
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Don't worry; be happy!
| An (impromptu?) battle in a field.
| More of the fight.
| And more of the fight.

|
| A blacksmith at work.
| A fire-breathing dragon made from scrap metal parts.
| A Scottish (?) piping band. It's interesting that the way they stood implied
they were playing for their own pleasure, not for any other festival
attendees.
| A piping parade I ran into on my way out.

|
| The entrance to the farm. Taken on my way out at the end of the day; hence
the lack of a long line.
| An old water tower and weather vane.
| If one photograph had to capture the feel of this historic farm, this one,
with its wide open spaces and rustic farm equipment, does so.
| Ye old museum. It's scary that the car rocked when other trains moved
elsewhere on the tracks.

| Animals Spotted
|
|
|
|
|
| Chasing a peacock early in the day.
| The peacock escapes. (I'm stuck on the other side of a wooden fence.)
| I find the peacock again later in the day.
| The peacock turns to show itself off for me.
|

|
|
|
|
| A chicken.
| Some goats. They camouflage quite well -- from a distance they look like
rocks.
| A rooster.
| More roosters.
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The same roosters once again.
| A turkey.
| A horse.
| Some sheep.
|
|
|
|
| A donkey.
| Another donkey. In person, it had such character expressed in its eyes!
Sadly, this photograph didn't capture the effect.
