Folk music has been part of a strong tradition in our town for many many years. Every year we have the annual folk music festival and invite folk bands from all over the nation. Some travel as far as 10 hours or more to make our wonderful celebration. The festival does not only consist of music it is also full of award winning artist, crafters, and caterers. Every booth is voted for among 100′s of vendors and in the end “the people” vote for their favorite booths and foods.

The best part is walking around the later in the evening on the last day to see who won each award. It’s a huge honor to be recognized among the best of these very talented people. The trophies are usually beautiful crystal awards with the festival logo engraved at the top and the category directly below.

These crystal awards can be displayed beautifully anywhere among their booth and in their home. It’s always fun to see new crystal awards awarded to new and upcoming artists because it’s a wonderful feeling of accomplishment.

Surprisingly, Easter is just around the corner. With these extra cold months slowly moving past us Easter will hopefully be a warm-full delight. Wouldn’t it be great to celebrate Easter outside in the beautiful sunlight.

Celebrate Easter with a beautiful backyard Easter egg hunt and award the winning child or adult with an Easter Egg Trophy. Easter eggs are a great tradition to Easter. The egg is a pagan symbol of the rebirth of the Earth in celebrations of spring and was adopted by early Christians as a symbol of the resurrection of Jesus.

There seams to be no better way to celebrate the beginning of spring and the beautiful tradition than bringing the whole family for an Easter Egg hunt. Passing on an Easter egg trophy may be fun for children to look forward to over the years. Or give and Easter Egg trophy/award to everyone so no one feels left out.
