This weekend, we attended a local event. I had no idea we had such a nice site close to home. Century village is in Geauga County, and is about 30 minutes away from our home. So, it was a nice easy ride for a day activity with the kiddos.

They usually host the event on memorial weekend, but with covid they rescheduled to August. The site is very nice, they have a general store, apothecary, school, church, railroad station, blacksmith, dressmaker shop, and even more.  I really wanted to spend some time looking around, but with the kids constant snacking we mostly walked outside. You don’t want to drag food into old buildings.

My friend Pamela had mentioned some interest in attending an event. So, she dressed up with us. Thankfully, a wrapper is pretty much a one size fits all, so all I had to do was change the hem. The downfall, is that is a pretty hot dress to wear. So, I starched the heck out of a corded petticoat for her. It didn’t keep her as cool as a hoop, or a sheer dress, but it was the best I had. Everyone seemed to have a nice time.

I ran into some other friends. Debbie and her daughter Beth. And we stopped at their tent for awhile while the kids played and mooched snacks.
