Vacation Ferndale!

Ferndale's County Fair

This is the biggest event in Ferndale, lasting a full ten days, and offering the widest variety of fun and activities.  Whether you are a kid, a farmer, a horse-racing enthusiast, a teen (for the most daring rides), an animal lover, or just anyone, you will find all kinds of activities to entertain you.

You will see all kinds of animals, from cows to fluffy chickens, rabbits, all breeds of beautiful goats and sheep, all vying for that blue ribbon.

There is a wide variety of handcrafts, all beautifully displayed, plus delectable baked goods and preserves.

The horse races are renowned, and you can try your luck at choosing the winner.

And, then, there's the carnival, with all the rides, and booths where you can test your skill and win a stuffed animal or a goldfish.

This is something all kids should experience - they are in heaven.  But, the adults love it too with the races, music performances, food booths and so much more.

So, come to the Fair in August 7-17, 2008.  For more information go to:  www.vacationferndale.com/Thefair.html        

Fourth of July in Ferndale

The Fourth of July brings many festivities to Ferndale, including a barbecue, a parade down Main Street, and, best of all, a magnificent fireworks display that is held at the Fairgrounds.  The Bear River Casino puts on the display which is free to community.

At Morningstar Vacation Rental you have a front row seat.  The fireworks display is only a half block away, and you don't even have to leave the property to enjoy the spectacle.

Ferndale's Farmers Market

Here in Ferndale, we have our own Farmers Market during the summer months.  At the market you can buy wonderful fresh produce, all grown locally.

There are booths that sell plants and flowers, and the growers are more than willing to chat and offer all kinds of helpful advice about their plants and how to use them in your garden.

For a really special treat, and one that is unique, you can watch a demonstration of hand spinning given by Jamie Cohoon of She Spins for Ewe.  She spins beautiful yarns out of all kinds of fibers, including angora, wool and silk, and can even spin yarns of dog and cat hair.

Here is a small example of the beautiful yarn she spins and sells.  There are many others.

So, don't miss our market on Saturday mornings on Main Street.  You are sure to find something to take home with you, and you'll really enjoy chatting to the local vendors.
