vending_small_PiedPk_festival.jpg

Last weekend, Piedmont Park hosted the smallest festival I’ve ever seen there—with no banners listing sponsors. I saw only maybe a half-dozen food booths, so this one offering a long, multi-cultural menu was standing in for what is usually a dozen vendors. The one to the right outside the photo listed “DEEP” FRIED OREOS (yes, with the quotes), which sounded positively gross to me.

One group of booths looked like pure low-end carny, with tosses for the most hideous stuffed creatures I’ve ever seen—because they were made with the fewest production steps possible (for example, hands were stuffed blobs with several lines of sewing to delineate digits).

I leave you to muse on the name of the booth to the left….
