"There are some things I can both reflect on with fond memories and also look forward to with excitement. Whimmydiddle is one of those things for me.

I remember my mom taking me as a young girl and how fun it was to have the entire City Park as my playground! We would (and still do) make our rounds from early morning, while some booths were still getting set up, until the end of the day when vendors were packing things away!

 

I think of that sweet man who would sit all day long making giant bubbles, the smell of roasted almonds or getting a break from the hot sun by hiding under the table in my Great Aunts Lavern and Betty's booth.


Now I am older and, while the faces of the loved ones I get to spend the day with have changed, I still get to spend it soaking in the wonderful talents around us with my family. For us, Whimmydiddle isn't just an annual event, it's been a family tradition for generations. We are so appreciative of the group of ladies that go to the great lengths they do to put this on each year!"
