But I go... because I enjoy it. Only happens twice per year, and most of the time I miss one. This season, I saw some new artists. One of my favorite booths was run by a photographer who displayed shots taken in Cambodia. Thought that was cool. :)<!--begin reply--> <span class="in_response_to">In response to strand tramp who said:</span> <div class="replied_to_style">actually you would be wrong. i have been to probably 30 of these over the last 15+yrs. i believe we now have 10+ festivals a year, not including the st pats parade?

One of my favorite concoctions has been pushed by Paula Deen. God bless her and her deep-fried/tempura brownies-- healthful and delicious! I've tried to indulge in real festival food these past couple of years. But I always wind up with a Karma Kafe wrap!<!--begin reply--> <span class="in_response_to">In response to 9 who said:</span> <div class="replied_to_style">Mmmm ... fried Oreos!</div><!--end reply--> Sounds yummy.
