I can alredy smell the smells, hear the sounds, and taste the food in my mouth. Its as if Im already there.  Once a year , the first full week in October, comes the Fall Festival.  It is like nothing else I know.  Blocks and blocks are shut down. There are over 125 food booths with every kind of food you can imagine.  Over 30 different rides and games.  But what makes it so much fun for me is the people.  All you have to do is sit and people watch and you can have hours of entertainment.  I have been goin to the Fall Festival every year since I can remember....I know I was being taken down there in a stroller.  The food is fantastic.  They have so many things to choose from.  One of the most talked about is the Brain Sandwich.....uuugghhh. So gross. I can remember being a kid and my mom standing in line for one of these for hours.  I was sooo ready to go ride rides and here we are waiting son some nasty brains!!!  But they have a huge selection. My all time favorite is corn fritters. Oh I have to have them from the same booth every year.  They have ribeye steak sandwiches, shark fajitas, ostrich burgers, corn on the cob on a stick, fudge, haystacks, strombolis , ham sandwiches, moster ears, carmel apples, ......and thats just a few of the things.  And you can smell it for blocks before you even get to it.  I cant wait!!  Two more weeks and it wil be here.
 
Do any of you have fall festivals like this where you live??  What is your favorite food tiem from there?

    we have most of our festivals in the spring and summer time here -

    fall is when the farms do hayrides and corn mazes and apple/pumpkin picking.

    my favorite festival food are funnel cakes. 

    although i love cotton candy too!

     

    my favorite thing to do in fall is to come home with a bag of local macoon apples and make pies!

    Not really no.
    At times there are a few things that go on, Mulvanes Old Settlers, Wichitas River Fest and the Ren Fair that comes through.
    The only one I really care to go to, and will even make plans to make it to is the Ren Fairs... yea, Ima geek. ^_^
  • hillbillygirl said on Sep 19, 2007....
    PP~ Well if they are something you enjoy and look forward to thats all that matters. I have never been to anything like that.....not sure if they even have anything like that , that goes on around here.  Do they have food and such at them as well.....do people go in costume?
  • Pontius_Pilate said on Sep 20, 2007....
    At the Ren Fairs? Ah hell yea, they do pretty good IMO.
    They do the whole king/queen thing and all that jazz.
    Pretty slick IMO.
    I am a LARPer, Live Action Role Playing Gamer.
    Imagine Dungeons & Dragons, done for real, like improvisational theatre.
    Well, one year, we were there and were trying to get involved with it.
    So we talk with the folks running it, the guy playing the King and all and did a whole scene where a group of us "attacked the king" screaming "DEATH TO THE KING" while another group of us were his "Body Guards". Did a whole fight scene in front of everyone and all that.
    Was very cool of them to allow us to do that and it was fun as hell too.
    Would love to try it out again sometime.
  • hillbillygirl said on Sep 21, 2007....
