Thursday was a stay home day doing the usual things. Mark and Sherry went to the funeral which took up most of the day and Nancy and I just did whatever we do best.
Yesterday was a different day. First we were with Mark and Sherry for a picnic at the Gorge Area Visitor's Center. Then we went to Fayetteville to see the town Fourth of July celebration.
There were street vendors. You can tell this one was selling lemonade.
Watermelon seed spittin contest.
The Fayetteville county court house.
Then it was back on route 19 over to Mt. Hope another old mining town.
This area has a lot old towns that were built during the coal boom years. Most of them started to decline in the 50's when the coal was mined out of the hills. It is sad to see the empty buildings that was once full of people doing their shopping.
We had a nice day with Mark being our tour guide taking us to all the towns and area attractions.
Thanks for stopping bu and have a great day.
