Bridgeton Covered Bridge Festival, Indiana, October 2019

Our second stop in the  2019 Covered Bridge Festival was at Bridgeton, Indiana.  The original covered bridge here was one of several that were set afire by an arsonist.  The bridge was rebuilt as a replica of the original.

The Bridgeton Mill is still in operation.  One can purchase a variety of  flour products in the mill and see a portion of the dusty flour milling operation.

There are many vendors of antiques, crafts, clothing, food and beverages available at the festival.  We were here on a Sunday afternoon and it was rather crowded.  We had lunch here and, of course, had to stand in a line for awhile to get our meal.

As at the Casey County Apple Festival in Liberty, Kentucky, I noted that there were many Trump promotional items, but no corresponding items for the current crop of Democratic Party Presidential candidates.

I’m sure that within the nearby urban area of Indianapolis, one would find a wider variation in political views.

In addition to shopping, one can take a carriage ride, enjoy arts and crafts and listen to local musicians.

The nature of this visit was not conducive to carrying around a large, heavy DSLR; consequently, the images in this post are all made via an iPhone 7 Plus with post processing in editing software.

A subsequent post will have more photographs of some of the interesting items one can see at these type events.

Until then, thanks for following,
