Home Town Festivals

[GremlinClr]

So this weekend we're having Barbeque on the River (http://www.bbqontheriver.org/). A three day BBQ, music and craft fest. mmmmmmmm

A while ago we had the first ever River's Edge Film Festival (http://www.riversedgefilmfestival.com/). Fun and enlightening.

We are also known as Quilt City USA and have the Official National Quilt Museum (http://www.quiltmuseum.org/) here and have an international quilt show every year. (Yea, that last one's crap but it's our biggest one.)

So what home town festivals do you have where you are?

So what home town festivals do you have where you are?
A little thing called The Tournament of Roses (http://www.tournamentofroses.com/).

Also a little thing called The Rose Bowl (http://www.rosebowlstadium.com/).

For those who don't care for sports (like me), there's The Doo Dah Parade (http://www.pasadenadoodahparade.com/). I marched in it three times. It rocks.

Old Pasadena Jazz Fest (http://www.omegaevents.com/oldpasadena/)

Saint Anthony's Greek Festival (http://www.hellenicfestival.org/)

Pasadena Summer Fest (http://www.delmanoprod.com/smfst05temp/)

Lots of other stuff.

I don't know about Joisy, but last week was the 28th Annual "Shalom Pelham Parkway".

They had some good vendors. Got Suzannah some earings and a necklace, and got Tot's birthday present in advance - a Hello Kitty Necklace. It's well hidden.

The food was a dissapointment. They only hire this one place, Main Event. Main Event used to always have two tables - one for Pizza and dairy stuff, the other a Grill. Last year they even had fresh Cotton Candy and Popcorn.

This year they just had the grill, and good G-d was it over-priced.

The music was beyond bad. It was better last year and I though it would be better. Alternative Jewish band Pey Dalid was slated to play, but I left before then. My brother's brother-in-law (his wife's sister's husband) is a musician and had a table there. He ended up doing an impromtu show which i left before as well. Pity. I hear he's good.

The lowest point musically was the guy with the thick Russian accent playing "New York, New York". On an accordian.

There should be a law.

Tot loved it though. They had a Shofer making booth. Wooooo.
