Worldfest 2009


This was held in the East part of Margaret T Hance park (Deck park). It is a sister cities celebration and there were booths from 10-12 of them. Most of the food booths were local rather than the traveling fare at festivals. Two stages were set up, one for a rock band and the other for cultural performances. I had a rather mediocre, overpriced pulled pork sandwich with beans and cole slaw. The meal served the purpose of soaking up enough beer I could drive myself home. For February it was a rather warm mid 80's, which made for better eye candy. The big draw of the day was the 50 some beers from all over the world. It took 3 trucks to handle it all. It was available in 4 oz increments for $.25 per ounce. I had 3 glasses and a sangria sample during the afternoon. Our group pretty much didn't stir from the beer garden. As the afternoon wore down the sister cities booths closed down and the serious party drinkers started to float in. That was about the time our group started to break up. Basically a nice afternoon in the park drinking beer with friends.
