Cooper Young Festival


Late summer and early fall is when the festival season gets going all over the country. I visited my first of the year last weekend. Cooper Young Festival is a one day festival in the historic Cooper-Young neighborhood of Midtown Memphis. It began in 1977 with around 500 participant/attendees and there were somewhere in the neighborhood of 125,000 in attendance this year. Needless to say, we got there the moment the festival opened so we could get around with the stroller comfortably. Here are some shots of my little man and my hubs, the beautiful Cooper Young neighborhood and a few cute booths, including Mo's Bows who I just blogged about last week.
 I love a neighborhood festival and this one doesn't ever disappoint!
