The Buckwheat Festival

Back in September, I got to go to the Buckwheat Festival in Kingwood, West Virginia for the first time in years!  We always went when I was a kid, but as I got older, we weren't able to travel as much.  This time, it was an even more special event, because my cousin Sydney was a princess in the festival!
