It only happens once a year. The BOYSENBERRY FESTIVAL at Knott's Berry Farm, a popular theme park about an hour and a half south of us. Abundant bougainvillea and blue skies are part of the welcoming path this day.
Boysenberries and Knotts go way back to 1932 when Walter Knott began propagating the new plant, a curious cross between the red raspberry, blackberry and loganberry.
The festival was decorated with berries and purple was the color of the day!
Of course I had to comply wearing every boysenberry thing I had!
Today was all about the berries and this "foodie" gal was in heaven. How about these Boysenberry meatballs! A skewer for each of us!
This perfect Boysenberry ice cream cone was so refreshing!
Be still my heart! Boysenberry candles that look like pies and cupcakes!!!
Check out these tempting displays!
Knott's has an old Western cowboy theme, one of the highlights being the show in the Calico Saloon.
This is founder Cordelia Knott's original fireplace.
The Calico Mine ride is about our speed these days.
Fried chicken is a MUST when you visit Knott's. They serve theirs with homemade biscuits and boysenberry jam. We washed it all down with boysenberry punch.
Oh how pretty! I wanted one but practiced self control...
At least until I saw this! We shared it and had boysenberry coffee.
What a beautiful So Cal sunset. Even the sky got in on the boysenberry act.
We capped off the evening with a visit to Camp Snoopy. The end of a fun filled boysenberry day.
