Village Fete

Depending on how well you know Dana and me, you might know that we love Gilmore Girls! At the Gittisham Village Fete, we felt like we had walked into Stars Hollow's Founder's Day, or any of their other many town festivities. We saw several of our favorite characters in the people around us, with our hosts being Lorelai and Luke!

The fete was a day we will never forget; enjoy some of the photos we took throughout the day!

Gittisham!

Making plans

Of course, I'm doing the work and Dana is taking selfies.

Set up for the cream tea!

Village hall

Storytelling, name the calf, and other stalls

Putting up some bunting

Let's just pretend this is Miss Patty's class.

Guess the name of the calf!

I got to help and Dana and I guessed the name as well! We promise, we didn't know her name before but guessed correctly. Her name is Agnes and our brilliant prize was Gittisham tea towels!!! So perfect!

Weston was able to join us for the festivities!

Duck Race!

They sent 500 rubber ducks down the stream. It was so fun to watch them all come rushing down, such suspense to see who won!

The amazing fete ended and we had a super ride home with the tractor!

They had a live band and dance later in the evening. We enjoyed talking with the Bottle Top Boogie Band once they finished!

Enjoying the music

Waiting for our delicious meal from the catering truck! Awesome burgers and delicious pork roast with crackling!

Time to boogie!

We were put to work as bartenders! We had to make sure the wine was good enough to serve as well!

I love dancing with Dana!

Weston is a good partner as well!

It really was a day and night filled with good fun! Thanks again to our hosts and the village of Gittisham for being so welcoming of us and Weston. We had such a great time! If this is the closest we ever get to Stars Hollow, we're doing darn good!
