Beanfest 2008 was a trip. All the folks gather at noon for a bowl of beans with corn bread, and an onion. They fire up the pots at 8 a.m., each making up their best effort for winning the coveted first place. We hopped in line and ended up trying 3 different batches of beans - they were all a bit different but I had a definite favorite (the spicy one). Jill's mom drove up to meet us, as her best friend Sharon had surgery the day before and she had stayed to be with Sharon's husband.Becky and the boys were also at the fest, but mostly Jill, her mom and I wandered around town, checking out the various junk shops (really nice, well-organized ones with super good stuff). We also caught the Outhouse Parade, lasting a mere 3 minutes, featuring a variety of mobile commodes. They went on to 'race' but we opted out of that in deference to the shops.
We headed home and ate two roosters that Eddie had "prepared" (that is, killed'em and cooked 'em) for dinner, and then we all just visited. Below, photos from Beanfest, and my favorite in-store sign...
