Arrived late (following a drive up from Kentucky), but not so late as to miss Sunday’s festivities^[1].  New people this time (in no particular order): Owen, Wayne (yet another one!), and Jay (who also has a neat,^[2] albeit somewhat neglected, Installations blog).  Turned out once wasn’t enough for brave folks Midwest Chick and Mr.B, both of whom made welcome reappearances.  Also in attendance: Regulars Brigid, Joanna, Roberta, Tam, Og, and Red (his blog has a new name), plus readers!

The weather was perfect for sitting outside,

except most of the exterior tables were occupied by the Brewpub’s annual pumpkin-carving contest^[3].  Contestants ranged from little kids to the Ripple’s artistic types; entries ranged from
the artistic...

through the clever...
to the disturbing (use your imagination!).

Altogether a fine time (as usual).  Next chance coming in November (date and venue t.b.a.), all readers and bloggers are invited!
