Andy and April Hill certainly win the Cullen Baker 3-K color run for having the best fun wear. It’s all about who comes in first, the chicken or the egg? (Submitted photo)
Nobody needs too much convincing that Bloomburg’s annual Cullen Baker Fair is the biggest in the county. Maybe everyone is just afraid of the outlaw Cullen and crowds together for safety in numbers.
It’s a wonder this Candy Land balloon float didn’t float off into space. We wonder if NASA is aware of this propulsion system. The float was by the Bloomburg Headstart program.
Eddie Thomas of Genoa, AR, has a big thing for Bigfoot. So he makes a safety sign for his friend. Wonder if Bigfoot feels the same?
Who knew local genealogy group could put on an act? Well, the Cass County Genealogists did. From left, they are Dr. Dan Wimberly, Louella Vernon, Charlotte Evans and Evan Evans. The booth was selling society books and journals.
You know,this vendor only sold coffee and tea.The Community Fellowship Church of Queen City is so friendly everyone just wants to get their smile in the picture.
Cullen Baker Fair
Over 200 vendors were present at the beginning of the Cullen Baker Fair Saturday in Bloomburg.
And likely 2,000 people were along the 10 a.m. parade path. The weather was fine, food abundant, vendors cordial and crowd orderly.
A year of planning goes into the fair, and it’s all volunteer.
Organizers say they were pleased with this year’s 47th edition and are ready to start on the 48th.
The Baker name is meaningless any longer. Beauty and baby pageants join with the frying of more than 2,000 pies, running 3 K’s and rubbing shoulders with friends you don’t recognize because they’ve grown or shorn a beard. But the main thing is just seeing all these people who do things to put on tables and talk about.
It’s just fun. Here is a look at seven scenes made in the morning hours Saturday.
Notice everyone’s smiling and hardly anyone is looking at a cell phone. That should tell us all something.
