only in Winfield

will you see someone camping in a tipi

stages set up by random people hoping to gather a crowd
and an annual rock, paper, scissors tournament (that's what the big bracket is for)

a guy wearing a skirt

a giant spoon hanging in a tree

an army camp

kids daring each other to swing out but not fall in

homemade showers

campsites with official signs and names

people gathered at any hour of the day just pickin' and singin'

Only in Winfield will you see this guy

and this chair

and a random game of dodgeball

and a camp made out of wood

After this camp had a write-up done about it on the back of the daily schedule...Dave was very interested in it. We've walked by this camp every year...but never actually went in.

When we did, we found this guy carving a scooby-do head

that will be added to this collection.....he carves a head every year

This bike rack belongs to this camp

they had some other fun stuff made out of wood too



This camp pretty much just lets people come in and enjoy their things anytime (that's just how people at this festival are) But they DID have this sign....



Only in Winfield will you find a full-sized kitchen fully stocked in the campgrounds
and the kitchen sink

and not just homemade showers...but REAL showers with a screen door put on them.
need any bread??
The bed of this truck was FULL of loaves of bread. I'm not sure why anyone has that much bread unless they happened to have robbed a Wonder Bread store on their way to Winfield.


That's just a FEW of the interesting things you'll see in Winfield.
I'm not scarying you from coming am I?

I can honestly say that I've never heard of a Rock, Paper, Scissors tournament -- complete with a bracket.

Looks like fun! This is the 2nd year in a row that I have had students miss school to go to Winfield! Maybe next year I should join them!!

Love this post!! There are so many CRAZY things to see in the Grove! How fun that you captured some of them :) Totally saw that guy with the big glasses-several times. He was right by Stage 4.75...I don't think he ever moved!

Ahh...I miss it already! Hope you had a great festival. You'll meet some new people and form a little camp of your own soon. We're still trying to come up with a name for our camp, so we can get our own sign/flag.

I love that Children must be with an adult sign!
And the other one saying they'd be given a puppy and an expresso. We need one of those signs..or 10.. at our local mall that people treat as a daycare. LOL.


Amanda, it was so nice meeting you this past weekend!!
