WHISTLE STOP SKY

 Saturday was the annual Whistle Stop Festival in Irondale, Alabama -- in honor of Fannie Flagg's FRIED GREEN TOMATOES AT THE WHISTLE STOP CAFE. It was a gorgeous morning!
Here's one of the famed railroad tracks...

It's kind of hard to tell, but there's a KID inside this giant ball! What fun!!

Lots of vendors this year....

 And speaking of kids... is there another place where you can see someone walking a pet GOAT ??? Meet Little Nanny. :)

 How 'bout these wind chimes? So creative!

...and a music-themed birdhouse. Awesome.

 I took this picture for Whit in DON'T FEED THE BOY:

...and yes, wisdom can be found at the Whistle Stop Festival, too!
