Out town just had the town's big festival. They have a number of little things that are often not worth going to, but this is one is fun. It's called "The Ostrich Festival". They do all the "fair/festival" stuff, rides, arts/crafts, games, food, etc. But the big thing is the ostrich races. They race then with jockeys, then with chariots. Plus camel races, etc. They also sell lots of ostrich stuff, burgers, jerky, etc. I love trying new foods. The concerts at night were Rick Springfield and an old American Idol guy. It's cool that it is only 2.5 miles from my house, so I could just hang out back/forth. They also had the Purina Dog Challenge there. Where the dogs do Frisbee tricks and an obstacle course. That was fun. Then in the mornings they had hot air balloon races and nights they did balloon glows. The only bad thing was the weather, almost record highs, 87 degrees and very little shade. I love going to things like that.
