apparently every year, the city of Norton, VA puts on a Best Friends Festival. from the Wise County chamber of commerce website, i could not ascertain what exactly the festival commemorates or celebrates, except well, best friends. this year's theme was "There's no place like home" obviously taken from the classic Wizard of Oz and confirmed by the cardboard cut outs of Dorothy, the Tin Man, Scarecrow and Lion that were up on a hill advertising the festival. There were events daily starting off with one called Paint a Trash Can on Monday and ending with a pancake breakfast Saturday morning. We did not attend either of these, but we did check out the Tuesday evening farmer's market, which really should be called a gardener's market, and the Emerald City Celebration on Friday evening. This was actually no joke. There were several trailers of fair food, at least 3 moon bounces, a couple of rock climbing walls and a stage set up for music. We took a lap up and back the closed-down main avenue of Norton and decided we had enough time enjoying best friends and returned to the Gap.
