A main attraction of the festival is the crowning of the Buzzard Queen and Princess. Arden competed in the Buzzard Princess contest and she won!!

This is my entry for week four for the Project Run & Play sew along – Love is in the Air theme. I focused my design around sisterly love and made my daughters Arden and Hadley matching twirly skirts.
