J and I went to the Grayson Highland Festival on Saturday.
There was bluegrass music,
arts and crafts vendors,
and Hobo pies. (apple butter between two slices of bread then fried over a fire)
But the main attraction is always the "wild" pony sale. These are ponies that live in the park and are rounded up each year and the offspring sold as a fund raiser to help continue to care for the herd. I say "wild" because hikers are always feeding and petting them.
And despite signs posted all around the sale pens,
people just acted like it was a big petting zoo. I don't think the ponies minded at all.
Anyway, it was a gorgeous day and a large turnout for the sale. I think they averaged well over $400 each and they had 22 to sell. The high seller went for $875. To keep me from getting caught up and bidding, J reminded me that was much more than I paid for Draper. So sadly, no little new pony at the 4R's.

They are very cute - that had to be tempting. But not as cute as Draper.
Me thinks that one can never too many ponies! Besides, you deserve one☺️
