New At the Booth This Year

Big Bird Goes to the Fair

Tom, FishingGuy Tom, chose “Big Bird” for this week’s Header Challenge theme.  So I thought I would oblige him with a straight up photo! No shenanigans, just a big bird from the Farm. Speaking of shenanigans and big birds…. Did you know that Big Bird, Sesame Street’s yellow fellow, is made with turkey feathers?   It’s true. And … Continue reading »
