On September 23-24, Kalona had its annual fall festival. The festivities were held on the grounds of the Kalona Village museum, where historic buildings have been placed and preserved for visitors to investigate. Along with the museum and the many buildings, 
there was also a large number of tents containing anything from food and craft vendors to hobby or old-word trade demonstrations. For example, one building held the process of removing corn from husks and grinding it to corn flour using belted wheels and machinery from the early 20th century.
The event also provided a number of food vendors – one in particular, being the grilled turkey legs often found at the MN Renaissance Festival (see picture). We ate our turkey leg while listening to the sounds of a local folk band. Altogether, it was a great time and until the very end, had excellent weather.
