Well, we didn't make it to Harvest House for my mom's birthday like I had planned, so Adam and I decided we would go by ourselves the following weekend. It was the perfect way to wind down after a week of back-to-school meetings and classroom preparation and an excellent jump-start to our favorite weekend in Waterville... fair weekend!
As soon as we stepped on the property we were greeted eagerly by Chef Valerie and Keith, the proprietor, "Welcome! Come in, come in, let me show you around!" The old farmhouse has been beautifully renovated and is packed full of beautiful paintings by featured artists Don Nutt and Michelle Soderstrom and stunning photography by Keith himself.
The dining atmosphere was cozy and social. While we were there we met some awesome people and had great conversations over local wine and a fantastic fall-off-the-bone rib dinner. We were absolutely stuffed to the brim when we left and were thrilled to have found such a gem mere blocks from our home.
We spent most of the rest of the weekend at the fair, browsing the exhibits, petting the animals, cheering excitedly at the rodeo/horse races and eating way too much fair food. Pronto pups, Wheat Wives cinnamon rolls, elephant ears and nacho supremes; I'm going to have to eat nothing but carrots and celery for a week to make up for it!
My favorite quote of the weekend: "Well, uh... It looks like we've got a no-score for the tractor driver."
