    One regal goat enjoying his 15 minutes of fame. This picture should make goat history. Thomas Jefferson would approve !

    This was a great festival. Tons of interesting exhibits for kids, family friendly atmosphere, and gorgeous setting.

    Maybe Monticello will hang this regal goat portrait in the room with Lafayette and other luminaries that have graced the lawn of Jefferson’s home. Hilarious ! Thanks for the slideshow, looks like a fun and educational time for all ages; hope they make this an annual event.
