Towns and cities cross the country are having fall festivals this month. I find this a good excuse to eat funnel cakes, corn dogs, and giant ears of corn on the cob dipped in some butter like substance. There is also a phenomenon sweeping the country, or at least the South, that proves the theory that anything can be deep fried and eaten. I have tried everything from deep fried Twinkies and Snickers bars, to deep fried ice cream and I will admit that 375 degree oil and some powdered sugar improves most things. I attended the Belmont, NC Fall Festival over the weekend and met some very nice people, along with a number of politicians. The array of fried food was not as stunning as something you would encounter at a state fair, but it was nonetheless impressive. My favorite was deep fried Kool-Aid. My diet wouldn't allow me to try it, but all the kids around speculated that it would be good. Now that I think about it, nobody actually tried it. Maybe some things are too weird...even for the South.
Here are some pictures from the festival.

Yes, that's a giant snake around his neck. A live albino python something or other.
Make plans to visit a Fall festival near you. It's a great way to meet, great people, politicians, giant snakes, kids, clowns and maybe try some fried Kool-Aid.
