Bagel Fest

I'm glad we had time to fit this in, we are so busy here in Jville. First was yoga. Marty and Buck went to the library. I did the drug store, post office and supermarket rounds. After lunch we headed to Monticello for the first-ever Bagel Fest. Everything around here is a "fest." River Fest, Garage-Sale Fest, Music Fest, Organic-Egg Fest, Corn Fest and Tomato Fest. The last few are made up but could be coming to a small town near you.

Bagel Fest was basically a way for the only bagel shop in town to promote themselves. They tried to make the Guinness World Book of Records by forming the longest bagel chain in the world but did not succeed. They had bagel-stacking contests and bagel-rolling contests. There were many booths selling everything including that ol' time religion. Commercial, but thanks to a beautiful day, enjoyable. We bought a few bagels (we're regulars) but they were the same air-filled somewhat tasteless objects they always are. Ah, you arrogant New Yorkers.
