🪿🇺🇸 And just like that, GooseFest 2026 has come to an end. 🇺🇸🪿

As I reflect on this amazing weekend of fun, laughter, memories, and community, I’m reminded to slow down for a moment and just take it all in. ❤️

There are so many people behind the scenes who make GooseFest happen. The GooseFest Committee is truly grateful for every single person who volunteers, sponsors, works, donates, participates, cleans up, shares a smile, or simply shows up and helps make our little town come alive. It truly takes all of us! 🥰

My friend Marlene Peterson took this beautiful picture this morning, and it felt like the perfect picture to close out GooseFest. 🌅

It reminds me of this beautiful quote:

✨ “Sometimes, in the midst of all the doing, we need to stop, look around, and simply take it all in. The memories we make and the people we share them with are the true blessings.” ✨

And most of all, we need to remember to thank our Father in Heaven for all of it. 🙏

“This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” — Psalm 118:24

God is good, and He has truly blessed Middle River and our amazing community. ❤️

Thank you to everyone who helped make GooseFest 2026 so special. We may be tired, but our hearts are full. ❤️

🪿🇺🇸 250 years. 250 honks. One amazing community. 🇺🇸🪿

Until next year… slow down, look around, and take it all in. ❤️
