Hi Belle,

Oh no, spectator sport for me only!

But I did learn not to sit in the grandstand, just off to the left of the line of pitching. These chips are rather flat like a frisbee, and a few people winged them right into the stands. Grand prize for the best thrower is a trip to the National Championship in Oklahoma. Maybe someday I'll have to go to root for the Wisconsin team .

STARSVILLE - I think that the trip to Talkeetna, Alaska for the Annual Moose Dropping Festival sounds like its worth the trip.

What a hoot! Do people cheer the moose on and clap -n stuff? LOL Its so silly, I'll bet its loads of fun.

PLACEU2 - If Intercourse, PA doesn't have a festival, I think they should start one. Hmmm...what should be the theme?

Oahu Transplant:
You got my curiosity up! Found the amusing info below on VirtualTourist.com:

From "Churchtown" it's a short drive west to "Blue Ball", from which you can work your way southwest to "Bird In Hand", turn left for "Intercourse", turn right for "Paradise" and turn right again to arrive in "Fertility" The birth rate in Lancaster county is very high!

Maybe Trojan could be a sponsor of the festival??

Belle

Murphysboro IL has the Apple Festival complete with Captain Applesauce heading the parade. My sister was a queen candidate many years ago and when asked what was her favorite fruit, she replied... grapes! Needless to say, she didn't win.

Cobden Illinois, has the peach festival
