I’ve been taking the photos for the Huntington Chamber of Commerce’s Fall Festival for 3 years now, and every year it amazes me how many people come to see the festivities.  Thousands flocked to Huntington to be a part of the day, whether it was to do some shopping with the vendors, go on rides, eat, or just be entertained by the many bands.  I’d have to say it was a great weekend.  Of course, it is a hard and long...

Both times we’ve been there we nearly had the run of the place to ourselves. The only sounds were of birds, chipmunks, and the wind. The first garden area, behind the welcome center, has several wooden chairs for relaxing and just breathing in the fresh air and...
