Robin's Nest on the Katy Trail

October in Missouri is packed with outdoor events. A weekend Art Show at Robin's Nest on the Katy Trail was a great get-away and opportunity to sell my products. Occasionally Paper Petals is part of a few Art Shows and Boutique Shows. It's nice to talk with some of my customers.

Robin's Nest on the Katy Trail (top photo, back porch) is nestled in the Missouri Wine Country and Located in Defiance, Mo. Located inside a historic general store, one side of the shop is a gift store and the other a bike rental for the Katy Trail. Along with historic pioneer locations in the town it remains untouched and many of the original buildings from pioneer days are preserved.

After setting up my show, I took a detour to see Daniel Boone's home (lower photo, back porch) and a historic Lewis and Clark area.
