Valyermo Fall Festival

Yesterday we took a drive out in the desert to check out the Valyermo Fall Festival. This festival is the major fundraiser for a monastery, Saint Andrew's Abbey, located in the high desert of Southern California. I was not sure what to expect but it was a very busy place with lots of visitors. More than 25,000 people attend this Arts and Crafts Festival. In 1969, the monks began to manufacture ceramic artifacts. These were displayed at the festival for purchase. You can also check out these handmade and handpainted ceramics by clicking HERE. It was a nice day at the festival with lots to see. You can also read about the history of Saint Andrew's Abbey by clicking HERE.
