Kleefeld Honey Festival fun
Bryce, 2, and Tyra, 5, show off the honey sticks
they found in the
haystack set up as one of the children's activities in
Kleefeld on Saturday. About 100 sticks were hidden in the straw,
leaving them nearly invisible, and kids young and old tackled
the
challenge of finding as many as of the tasty treats as possible. The
activity was one of several activities set up for children at the
festival, which also saw several tournaments, a parade and evening
entertainment bring the community together.
