Three friends and I went to German Fest today and you would have thought it was the first festival in this city in years. Actually it is the first major festival in two years, the weather was perfect and if you arrived before 2:00pm admission was free. Evidently this was an unbeatable combination for many, many people. The line to get in stretched for half the block, and the lines to get food were almost the full length of the pavilion. But people were patient and happy to be there and oompah music filled the air. The food, once we got it, was delicious and so was the good dark beer. Kudos to the two gentlemen of our party who stood in that long, long line to get the food, and left the pitcher of beer with us. My only regret was that, alas, I missed the Wiener Dog races. They were advertised for 2:00pm but evidently were run earlier in the day. Ah well, there's always next year.
