Summertime!! Music and Food Festival :)

Because we all need a break now and then, and summer is the time for festivals!! Let's have an SR Festival

I've booked a few musical acts, and some vendors of cool, handmade art, jewelry, and clothing.

The food trucks are on their way, but I'm going to have to leave the organization of the pie eating and hot dog eating contests to someone else.

The first band is warming up, and you won't believe it! I managed to get the Doobie Brothers!! Sweet!!

So, get out your best festival-going outfit, remember to put on sunscreen, let me know who you want to hear on the "Main Stage", and don't forget to visit the vendors. There is a cool t-shirt I have my eye on

Now...where is that falafel truck

Cool beans, Anvil! The funnel cakes vendor is just getting warmed up, and someone showed up with a whole truck full of watermelon

And you're just in time for Little Feat to take the stage!!

You caught me on a Nailed It! binge, and I'm watching the episode where they're cutting watermelons. Oops one of the contestants just cut herself!

Where are the funnel cakes? I'll be arriving with my kaftan and my macrame purse.

And I'll twirl like Stevie Nicks. I must have listened to "Gypsy" and "Sara" five million times when I was in middle school.

Well, mindfulman, if you've been able to get a few acts together like Nora En Pure, Kasbo, and What So Not...then carry on!

I've had Dave Matthews and Hootie and the Blowfish show up at the same time, so another stage has opened up

There's a vendor selling Belgian Waffles with fruit, and somebody told me that one of the local restaurants has a tent here where they are serving bagels with smoked salmon!! But, there is the standard yogurt and granola vendor, too

And would somebody please remove the macrame microphone cover from the mics in the EDM tent before the young people riot?!

Looks like a perfectly good evening snack to me, trailmix

So, has anyone tried the wasabi granola yet? I haven't been brave enough!!!

Next on the stage--the Grateful Dead!!

I think I've eaten enough fresh peaches to burst at the seam! And yet...one of the vendors just put out a sign for freshly made peach ice cream

OK...I may only fit into the caftan after all this

Did I mention Bonnie Raitt just showed up, too!!?

I'm assuming the Grateful Dead is with Jerry. If so, he's followed by David Bowie (with Stevie Ray Vaughn in the band) and Prince.

Once we get the macrame off, we got Diplo, as mentioned, as well as Dillon Francis and Marshmello.

Since they haven't done Coachella, Daft Punk will be the festival headliner on Saturday.
