Small town Kentucky

We just finished a week at Green Turtle Bay Resort and Marina.  All the Loopers say this is a must-visit marina but we found it to be pretty average.  Perhaps we were expecting too much after all the hype.

The two great things about the place were the courtesy car which allowed us to go into Paducah for a major provisioning and the location in the charming town of Grand Rivers, KY.  We were lucky enough to be there for the Harvest Moon Festival complete with great food trucks, crafty vendors, a small-town parade and all the people watching I could handle.

Our American friends on Darwin (Ed and Shannon) told us we should stand for the colour guard.
Not sure what a colour guard is but we stood dutifully.

I had more fun watching the kids scramble for candy thrown
from the float than I did watching the actual parade. 

We got a ride to and from the festivities on a street-legal golf cart.
That's Shannon and Ed in the foreground.

  

As I said, the people (and dog) watching was pretty amazing
