This past weekend, Michael and I attended Big Hat Days Festival in Old Town Clovis. The festival, which kicked off Western Heritage month, featured over 400 food and craft booths, a family style carnival, pony rides, live music, and a beer garden. The Clovis Chamber of Commerce says that the festival draws around 140,000 people over its two days and is the largest craft show in the Central Valley. Strangely enough, we only saw a few people wearing big hats.... quite upsetting, especially to Mike_eee.
The best part of any festival, of course, is the large variety of unhealthy and stomach-upsetting food.
The beer garden seemed to be the most popular area for people our age. No surprise there! After seeing the long line of 'slightly' intoxicated people waiting to get in, we decided to grab a beer in a less populated venue... the outside patio of 500 Club. Complete with cheap drinks, live music, and some very interesting people watching, it was the perfect end to the festival. Before heading home, I grabbed one more drink with two new friends, Keri and Katie... these girls definitely know how to have a good time! :)
Until next time...
