| Tent giving away pickle samples |
They had a very large car show with some really neat cars. I wish my son-in-law would have been here because he would have really liked it.
I then tried my hand at pickle packing. How fast could you pack three jars with whole pickles? Well it took me over three minutes, not sure I would be able to get a job packing pickles.
We then walked around to check everything out. They had camel rides and a cute petting zoo with baby camels.
We decided to get something to eat so I had a chicken fajita and Greg had a steak sandwich.
Then we found a stand that sold lemonade, strawberry lemonade and pickle lemonade. Pickle lemonade sounds interesting. We wanted to try the pickle lemonade but didn't want to spend $5. I think they should have given samples. So we settled on a regular lemonade and a strawberry lemonade.
As we were walking around we came upon a burger eating contest by Andy's restaurant www.andysburgers.net. It hadn't started yet so we decided to wait and watch.
Several of the people in the contest have won different eating contests. Of course this goes against my stomach doctor's advise to eat slow and chew a lot. This burger was 50 oz with 6 oz of fries and a 24 oz drink. Just thinking of eating this amount of food quickly made my stomach turn. The person that won 1st place ate all this in 3 minutes and 2 seconds and won $2000.

There was a street with some old tractors on show.
The town has railroad tracks running right down the center street. Can you believe that a train came through during the festival. It was only two cars but we were surprise they let it go through with all the people around.
It was a very nice day and I would definitely go to this one next year. When we left the festival we decided to go to the Duplin Winery www.duplinwinery.com since we were so close. We happen to get there when a tour was coming back so we were able to join them for the tasting. We have had wine from this winery and really like it. We ended up buying a case of wine to bring home. We actually use some of their wines for cooking.
Right down the road from the winery we noticed a seafood buffet and decided to stop. It was called "Small Town Calabash Seafood Buffet". It was very good and priced at $11.95 per person which was good for seafood.
Well it was a very busy day and we had a good time. Getting ready for our next adventure this weekend.
Till next time....
Love,
Jennifer
