This was such a nice little festival. When we showed up we saw Garrison Keillor and a few video cameras following him around. The Rhubarb Sisters sang some very cheesy rhubarb songs, there were rhubarb olympics, rhubarb contests and just rhubarb everything.The best part was the rhubarb tasting. We got to sample 30 different unique rhubarb dishes!! It was so tasty, but very filling. I think we ended up choosing the pickled rhubarb as our favorite, mainly because it was the most unique and centered around the rhubarb. Other dishes just put some rhubarb in it but you couldn't really taste it. I also bought a tomato plant, very excited for fresh tomatoes. Also, both of these pictures got into our local paper!!
The worst part? We parked on the wrong side of the highway and got a parking ticket! The ticket was supposedly for $127!!!! I guess instead of raising our taxes Pawlenty decided to add "little" fees to our parking tickets. Anyway, we weren't very happy about that, especially since you'd think they'd clearly mark not to park there (there were several cars there before we parked) especially since there was a festival going on. Anyway, I ended up calling the office and the lady told me the ticket was only $24, maybe the bill hasn't gone through yet not sure. But that was much better :)
We bought some rhubarb cake and garlic bread for our get together with our friends Eric and Leah later that night. Good times :)
