Each year in September a farmer's feast is organized in the city park of Waterloo. As the weather was nice I made a little walk through the stands.
There were quite a lot of people and a band played all kind of music
There was garden furniture and decorations to see
and lots of other stands selling different products, like here the wool stand with some clothes.
Publicity for a "green" life and propositions how to become more and more "green"
After having seen these cute pigs, I had no appetite for a sausage anymore !
there were some other animals too even a llama which is quite exotic for Belgium
The police showed what their dogs are able to do (see post below)
and a little video of the show
For children there were lot of things to play with
Solar pannels proposed for heating and people walked through this beautiful parc
some strange decorations for your garden
and a man who showed us how he makes clogs. They are mostly worn in the Netherlands, but also in parts of Belgium.
That is a nice way to have fun together. Brilliant.
ReplyDeleteWe visit two times a year the 'garden days' at Beervelde, always fun. This looks great in Waterloo and a fine collection of pictures you took.
ReplyDeleteThe man with the clogs is my favourite :-)
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun day! I love all the animals and the garden decorations and the police dog show is neat.
ReplyDeleteMy German grandfather told us that he hated his shoes when he was a boy in Germany because they were made from wood and as they aged they split and pinched his feet. Once he came to the USA in the early 1900's he worked hard and enjoyed fine leather shoes.
ReplyDeleteA real mini agricultural show. I'm sure Waterloo looked stunning too.
ReplyDeleteWe watched clogs being made in the Netherlands earlier this year. What took hours to make by hand could be made in minutes by machine. They were later decorated so beautifully.
lucky you getting still such beautiful weather and enjoying the outdoors! it has become really cold this part of europe unfortunately oh and very rainy too ;(
ReplyDeleteOh, what a fun day, Gattina! I love farmers markets, feasts! Your photos are terrific! Made me feel like I was there!

How cool is that Farmer's Market. Great pictures. :)
ReplyDeleteThat looks a bit like our county fair. Thanks for sharing the beautiful pictures.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like it was a fun little festival! I would NOT have eaten sausage after visiting the pigs either! I would have eaten MY sausage before visiting the pigs! LOL! I thought you were a vegetarian... am I wrong? Maybe it's Ilona...
ReplyDeleteSuch an interesting place to be. I find the garden decoration quite amusing:)
ReplyDeleteMy world entry is up here.
Lots of interesting things to do in your world.
ReplyDeleteI can't help it, I've always been crazy, but my favorite are the pigs!!! And I'd love to have that garden pig too - if I had a garden to put it in!!!! Wonderfully fun!
