Saturday is the BIG DAY for Lexington. This year's crowd estimate-- 200,000 people! In a town of 18,000. We're always among the early birds. Shirley just LOVES the barbecue festival. Maybe it's just all those people to talk to? I must admit that I like the crowds too. And the music (six bandstands). And the food. And the unusual (lumberjack competitions, sand sculptures, pig races, bicycle stunt riders, car shows, beer and wine gardens, arts and crafts, street performers, costumed people, kids rides, a nighttime concert, and all that goes with it).
This year we even had petanque after spending nearly twelve hours downtown! (Thanks, Sue and Terry Wien for allowing us to use your courts even though, due to another commitment, you couldn't be there.)
