The Festival
Filed under: General
It’s that time of year again: the Pekin Marigold Festival. Pekin, like most mid-west towns, has an annual local festival complete with carnival rides, midway games, greasy foods, and local cover bands. The Marigold Festival also has an impressive Arts & Crafts fair. Being the dutiful husband I am, I escorted the Polite Wife to the craft fair and carried lugged her packages back to the house. At least I got paid in kettle corn (mmmm, kettle corn).
Thank goodness the Marigold Festival is over for this year. Sadly, the next town over is having its Pumpkin Festival next weekend. Then there are festivals scheduled in small town after small town every weekend through Halloween. Will the madness never end?

The scary thing is that I thought you meant Pekin, Indiana…
