Living in a tourist area, we have numerous parades and festivals. Â One of the biggest is Folkmoot, an international folk festival celebrating musicians and dancers from around the world. Â Folkmoot 2014 – the 31st annual festival – started July 18 and closes today (July 27). Â Yesterday was the Parade of Nations, a colorful affair.
Because of the crowds, we stayed at home and relaxed, but the hu-dad went and took pictures for everyone to enjoy. Â Of course, he got asked dozens of times where we were, so we all know who the real celebrities are. Â Humor him anyway and enjoy the pictures.

All of those people waiting for the parade to start. We could have entertained them by letting them give us ear scratches.
Don’t worry, we will be marching down Main Street next Saturday in our own parade! Â Yes, it is the 9th Annual Downtown Dog Walk raising money for our great friends at Sarge’s Animal Rescue Foundation. Â If you are anywhere near, please come to downtown Waynesville, NC, Saturday, August 2, at 10 am, and cheer all of the dogs! Â Or sign up and join the parade!

A Shark Attacked My Best Friend
June 20, 2025 - In honor of the 50th anniversary of the theatrical debut of the movie Jaws, the film that was the inspiration for these events, D. K. Wall recorded the story in audio and video. The original story was posted on October 9, 2022.
A shark attacked my best friend when I was 11. His screams were awful. The silence that followed was worse. I was alone in the ocean.
