Providence's Spring Creek Festival

The weather was a bit overcast and a few drops fell here and there. We decided we needed to get out. 
We finished all our shopping then went to see what the festival was all about. Saturday's festivities were held at the Old Rock Church. It was an old church building (LDS of course) that had been turned into a "bed and breakfast." There were only a few vendors braving it outside. I bought some pretty silver earrings and a couple of homemade tamales. Yummm. We tried sauerkraut prepared several different ways and in chocolate cake. It wasn't bad.

Inside we were able to tour the bed and breakfast. A large boarding house structure had been added on to the church. It was set up with a grand staircase going from the house into the church for weddings. It sounds weird, but was actually very nice. The bride's room was very large with several vanities and a large mirrored alcove. I had the whim to use the top floor "exit."  It was a wooden staircase in need of a handyman. Let's hope no one has to use it as a fire escape in the near future. It might go up in flames first.
