who says festivals are expensive?

Lisle has the Eyes to the Sky Festival every year over the 4th of July holiday. It combines a carnival, arts/crafts stands and food court with concerts and hot air balloon launches twice a day. It’s $5 to get in to the festival (carnival is free), but Lisle residents get in free on the 4th between noon and 3 pm. So go in, get your hand stamped and go back for the fireworks later on.

Moo and Oink not only fed us David’s kosher franks and hamburgers seasoned with onions and BBQ sauce, they gave us lots and lots of nice coupons.  Thanks, critters.

Why yes, we will take more of those tasty hot dogs.  But you only have the yellow mustard!  Oh, well, we’ll cope…somehow

Not only was the Müller’s yogurt stand handing out cartons of yogurt (strawberry or mixied berries) and $1 coupons, they were handing out FULL CASES!  They weren’t putting on limits, then one guy started selling those cases for $2.  That’s just ignorant.   but a great deal for the Buyers…

PITA and I had our hair French-braided – her’s was also sprayed pink.  not a good look for me.
