Don't tell us that you didn't buy anything at the arts and crafts show! How about the farmers' market? How about some food?

Certainly you drank a cup of coffee, sipped a snow cone or bought some gourmet popcorn - or just a $1 bag fo popcorn. Did you have some homemade ice cream? Did you win something from the fishing pond? 

What was your favorite craft booth?
