La Fête des Vendanges

Cortège des enfants

Before arriving here I imagined I would have the adult experience of eating, drinking and celebrating until a late hour during the grape harvest festival in Nuechatel but when that day came I found myself   enjoying the day festivities  and watching the children’s procession with my family. I still recall the laughter and joys of children as they paraded by and the astonishment in my son’s eyes as he saw all the children, vibrant costumes, the throwing of confetti and heard the loud instruments of marching bands. There is so much happiness given when a child smiles.
