Longaberger Basket Fest @ Greenfield Village ~ Part II

Well, we made our way back to the Basket Fest today, and the weather and people were just as nice as the first trip.  The BIG news of the day (for us anyway) was that the Factory Store was at The Henry Ford.  We had no idea that it was even there the first time we visited.  Sadly, it seems that the folks at Greenfield Village thought it was best to put the Factory Store all the way over at the Automotive Hall of Fame rather than in the Village near the other festivities.

 What did that mean for most folks?  Well, most of the attendees didn’t even know that the Factory Store was there, and the ones that did find it had to do a lot of walking to get to it or drive over. 

Today, Rich and Joanne Longaberger were signing baskets.  They were both very friendly and talkative.  We hope that Longaberger will come back to Michigan again next year.  Maybe to Frankenmuth? 

Sorry, no pictures today.  We were too busy walking ;0)
