The Evansville West Side Nut Club hosts a huge Fall Festival each year. It is supposedly the 2nd largest street festival in the U.S. (2nd to Mardi Gras). They serve a lot of traditional "fair" foods - fried crickets, chocolate covered bacon, fried oreos, etc. Our church has a food booth and our church's worship band was invited to play on the main stage, so we went to support them. They were awesome! They did a variety of original worship songs, along with covering some rock songs. We ate some yummy pronto pups (basically a corn dog, only the batter tastes more like a pancake) too!
We ran into several families from our new small group, so that made the event even better. The boys each rode a couple of carnival rides - Truman is big enough to ride the big ones now, so it was very entertaining to see him ride his first big boy ride. We had a great time & will plan to attend every fall. (For our friends in Texas - it was hilarious to see several food booths advertising "Texas Tenderloins" or "Texas Fries". It seemed that anything large was labeled "Texas" food. Most of the Texas foods they advertised were foods that we never saw in the 5 years we lived in Texas! ha, ha)
