This "Sinterklaas" festival took place in the gorgeous city of Rhinebeck, New York. It is an Old Dutch tradition and had lots of different attractions to enjoy. I participated by helping give awards for the "Bear Beauty Contest" for all the children in the area. Lots of children dressed up a stuffed bear in whatever outfit they chose and entered them in this contest. We gave each of them a gift (a certificate, a little trophy, and a piece of delicious chocolate candy) and I took a picture with every single one of these adorable children!
Furthurmore however, a highlight of my day was right after the bear beauty contest came to an end. I met a couple on vacation from Italy. My dad's side of the family came from Fundi, Italy and so was this couple. They had a great sense of humor and I posed for some photos with them. They were enjoying their time in America and at the Sinterklaas festival.
