I'm Tryon T. Turtle...

I've had a lot of adventures since starting out in May. I got a little tired, so I am just getting around to posting pictures from the conference. I met lots of people there.

TurtleFest at Bass Lake in Holly Springs

Decided to stay up a bit later this evening and get caught up before a big day tomorrow at Artsplosure in downtown Raleigh.

Last weekend, I made my way out to Bass Lake Park in Holly Springs.  They were having a whole festival dedicated to my kind of folks... Turtles!!  It was their 7th Annual TurtleFest and I was told that they had a record number of folks turn out for the event - around 3,000!!  That is incredible!  I think it is because the word got out that I was there.

I handed out a lot of my business cards so folks would know how to keep track of my journey online.  So many folks were surprised that I had a Facebook page, and couldn't wait to friend me!  Twitter is interesting, and I have shared some stories back and forth with the Garner and the Raleigh Bears.  All they ever talk about is eating and some kid by the name of Scotty McCreery that is making it big on some TV show called American Idol???  I guess he is from around here - but I have never met him.


Sadly, with all my new found technology skills, my camera has failed me.  However, I think the new battery will solve all my problems and I will have pics to share soon! 

I do have to say... this has been a great time to wander around the Piedmont of North Carolina.  The honeysuckle and magnolias are blooming, and the scent is so deliciously sweet in the evenings. 

Now I feel like I can head to bed!  Big day planned for tomorrow!
