Today was the annual Junk Fest here in Carrington. People come from all over to see and buy all the amazing refubished "junk" that the 4 Junk Girls make.
I cannot describe the talent these ladies have. You will have to come next year and see for yourself!
One of the funnest parts of Junk Fest is the waiting. Usually, I'm out there with the rest of the crowd. Hot Chocolate and cinnamon rolls in hand. Anxciously waiting the 9:00 start time when they cut the ribbon and ladies (and a few brave men) charge the big barn, ready to fight to the death for their piece of the "Junk". This year, I was on the other side of the fence...camera in hand!
Here's the crowd waiting for the countdown.
Before he could reach "3 - 2- 1" they broke through the ribbon and were off!
The line to purchase your final selections is miles long within minutes!
It takes more than just the four "designers" to pull off this amazing show. Check out the group of volunteers that come to help out (and for a sneak peak at the merchandise.)
