Fall Festival
This past weekend, The City (My The City) hosted the Foothills Fall Festival. We took the kids on Saturday and watched some live music featuring a bunch of country singers I’d never heard of and Billy Ray Cyrus, who I have heard of but only ever heard one song – and you know which one it is. It’s not that these weren’t big names it’s just that I don’t listen to country. It was a good time. Our kids’ first concert.
Then on Sunday, we left the kids with the in-laws and me and the Mrs. went at watched a bunch of country singers I’d never heard of and Kenny Rogers. At 70, that man is one Hell of an entertainer. And it helped that I’d actually heard some of his songs before.
And the food was awesome. Funnel cakes and big greasy burgers. Oh, and one place had ribbon fries that were to die for.
It was a good time.

It must be nice to live in a solid red state 🙂 We don’t have any festivals this time of year that don’t have politicians scurrying around trying to round up votes and volunteers. The Obamatons are making the door-to-doors from what I’m hearing. Hopefully the signs at my house will ward them away, much like garlic for vampires.

Blech. Country. Otherwise sounds like a good time. And I could probably tolerate Kenny Rogers.
(I keep thinking about going to a show and the Grand Ole Opry just to say I’ve been there, and also because I want something to supplant Gen*Con on the list of “whitest crowds I’ve ever been in.”)
