Greek Food Festival

Okay, I obviously love food and have an overeating problem---but you can't worry about that when you find a Greek food festival in town! I read about this festival that is held every Memorial Day weekend by a local Greek Orthodox church. Well, all you have to do is tempt me with dolmathes and souvlaki and I am there!


And oh, was it worth it! We had to drive about 40 minutes to the County fairgrounds where the festival was being held, but didn't I already say it was worth it. The festival was in a huge, air-conditioned exhibit hall, with lots of space and so well-organized that we didn't suffer the crowding issues that are usually a part of the festival experience.
We ate souvlaki, gyros, greek salad, lemon rice, and loukoumathes. The honey puffs were a big hit with Paige (no suprise!) We also had a baklava sundae, which is my new favorite way to eat baklava. After stuffing myself sick, I bought some dolmathes and spankopita to take home. Yummy.


There was also some entertainment. Here is Paige playing on one of the inflatables that were there. We also stayed and watched some Greek dancers, Paige really loved that.

HURRAY FOR FOOD FESTIVALS!
