My City's Contest For Best Flavor Ice Cream! Grandkids And I Voted For Best!

They have a potato festival queen contest. And the runners up make up her court. There are carnival rides, a parade and in the park are exhibits and games and stuff going on. The also have a mud volleyball contest. And for the last couple of years they have had "Rods in the Field" which is local people showing off there hot rods. I think that pretty much covers it. It starts on Friday night and goes through Sunday morning. I think some organization does a pancake breakfast on Sunday morning.

Thanks for your explanation. It sounds like it is a lot of fun. I love to hear these different things that people from different parts of the states and world do to celebrate different things. It is very interesting to me.

That sounds like a lot of fun. What kind of things are done in potato festival. I realize that it centers around the potato for the most part. But do they have games and different dishes that are potato recipes. I like hearing about the different things that different cities do. It is very fascinating to me.

This is just so much fun. It is a shame that all the smaller cities don't do this. I love it and look forward to it every year. Thanks for your response, dear friend.

Thanks for the compliment. I like to make people smile and have a smile on my face all the times. Smile and the world smiles with you as I say. To the ice cream contest. There were Chipperoo, Chocolate Covered Strawberry, Flower Power, Hairy Bairy Vanilla, Fresh Strawberry Sundae, Rich Summer Delight, Caramel Sin, Big Red, Totally Nuts, Patriotic Praline Pecan. Those were the ones we tried. There were only two other stores but they were completely on the other side of the city. The grandkids tried to have me walk with them down there and I mentioned to them they were out of their tree. If they wanted to go down there we would go get the car and drive down there. They decided against that. The one I liked the best was the Carmel Sin. I love carmel and there was enough of it to get a real good taste. Before the summer is out the city is having a chili cook out and the best chili will be voted for. I had a ball and so did the grandkids. I always try to find different things for them to do when they come over.
