A Winfield Birthday

So far this school year has been busier than I expected, and this weekend was a welcome retreat. The Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield, Kansas was this past weekend. I had never heard of this event before coming to Kansas, but now in my third year here I finally made it there. Winfield is a crazy time of bluegrass music and wonderful people. Landon has gone every year of his life, and this year it also happened to be over my 20th birthday so a ticket to the festival was my birthday present- and it was amazing!
There are 4 official stages set up, then multiple small others set up around the campgrounds and we spent the days traveling between those and just hanging out with the other wonderful people there. There were a bunch of food vendors set up along with crafts which were fun to browse through. I got myself some pretty tasty food including a veggie reuben, homemade ice cream, breakfast tacos, hot chocolate and some pretty bangin roasted pecans that I couldn't seem to get myself away from.




We got there on Thursday night and it was pretty drizzly and cold, but over the weekend it slowly warmed up even though the sun never really showed it's face. It was overall a fantastic time and I hope so badly to be able to make it back again next year! Now, after taking a nap a bit longer than I anticipated, I should start working on all that homework that piled up...

[I took my camera, but it was pretty muddy so I didn't want to have to worry about it. Hence the phone pictures- but those only happened until it ran out of batteries. This time I guess I chose the experience over documenting it!]
