Last Saturday JDaniel and I headed to the French Celebration in Fountain Inn ,South Carolina. The celebration was in honor of Bastille Day which was earlier in the week.
JDaniel noticed the giant Eifel Tower in front of the festival right away. He loved that he could walk right under its arches.
We then moved to the food area inside the building. They were serving coffee and but, what really caught Jdaniel’s attention was the Skittles Eifel Tower project set out for kids to work on. At first he didn’t realize that Skittles were candy and he just placed them on the outline. Then some other children came over and one of them announced that Skittles were their favorite candy. JDaniel’s ears heard the word candy and suddenly he became less interested in the building on to the design.
There was also a display of children’s book on a table with an accordion. JDaniel loved playing the accordion. I am not sure the other people that came in for coffee and a pastry were really into his musical presentation.
A lovely lady with samples of various vinegars and oils was also in the food area. We really enjoyed trying out some of them. She mentioned that she gives tours in her shop and would love for us to come by. I think we will be going. It will be fun to see her shop and try more of her products. She said that they serve ice cream with some her products at the end of the tour.
Our final stop at the festival was the French Dog Parade. We watched stuffed dogs, little dogs and big dogs cross the stage with their owners. JDaniel loved sitting in the front row and clapping for the participants as they marched by.
You should totally go for her tour – it sounds fun (and delicious!)
what a fun day!

What an awesome day.

My kids will eat Eiffel Tower too! Surely the no.1 attraction for them.
That is too cute! I can assure you that here in France they don’t put nearly as much effort in Bastille Day! That skittle Eiffel Tower is amazing!
Wow, what fun!
What a lovely day! I’m hungry for sweets now 😉
