It's Sunday and you know what that means, a double dose of pictures from the fairy Tale Festival. Enjoy the dragons!
Two of the vans for people contributing to this event and also running Halloween events in town in October. Lot of people wanted their photos with Scooby Plush.
Forest dragon on display. It had debuted at the Grand Rapids art festival last year and as you'd think did quite well.
I like this picture up front with the protective fence of flags separating head from claws.
Behind the forest dragon was this little mad-tea-party display.
This is ... not a style that fursuiters use, but I'd be interested seeing what the furry fandom could do with two or three generations of this style costuming.
On the tail of the forest dragon are is a lot of plant growth. Note the turtle who has a house on their back.
And here's a little fairy squirrel for you. I have got to get whatever issue is keeping my camera from auto-focusing right fixed.
Little baby forest dragon sitting on a mushroom here.

Some confidential talk between dragons here.
And we got a picture of her by Scooby and the mystery machine.
The kids got to play in an inflatable haunted house, flanked by inflatable gargoyles, which seems like crossing the conceptual streams somehow.
Trivia: In October 1963 --- six months after the resolution of the 1962-63 newspaper strike, which shattered newspaper subscriptions --- the Hearst corporation closed down the New York Daily Mirror. At the time, it had the second-highest circulation of any United States newspaper. Source: The Paper: The Life and Death of the New York Herald Tribune, Richard Kluger.
Currently Reading: The Billionaire's Vinegar: The Mystery Of The World's Most Expensive Bottle of Wine, Benjamin Wallace. So mixed results here. The Koch brother was scammed, yes. But he then used his great and evil fortune to pursue the person who most likely counterfeited the wine with a Javertian resolve. I guess it's a good thing for people committing fraud to be known as such although since the marks were people like the Kochs or the Forbeses, you know, the people who made fortunes turning modern life into a never-ending trauma, it's ... eh. You know.
