Dam Festival

[catnapper]

We had the Apple Dumpling Festival last week (or was it two weeks ago?)

It features (you guessed it) apple dumplings. They have a beauty queen competition, parade, etc. All I know is it makes traffic a nightmare

Oooo Apple dumplings. They sound good... never tasted them. At the Dam festival there is a parade, fireworks, bunch of food stands, and a street dance.

Apple dumplings are basically small apple pies in a ball shape drowning in a cinnamon syrup.

I think they had a fireworks too. I forgot about "community DAy" a few towns over. Thats in a few weeks -- thats FUN. They have a carnival and a HUGE fireworks show on Saturday night. As much as I hate crowds and traffic, I make sure to go to the fireworks display because its just that awesome.

We have something called Howell day. It's named after my town. They have rides, free stuff, food, fireworks, and shows. I haven't been there in like 3 years but I might go this year with one of my friends. I love going! It's so cool. I really like the bake sale, they have the best chocolate chip cookies ever.

In Iowa City we have quite a few festivals in summer time. One that's held every year here is Riverfest, which is held and early May and nearly always has bad weather! There are rides and music venues.

We have the "Ballarat Begonia Festival" it is pretty lame and i wont bother going again. We also have "Springfest" which is great, lots of craft, food stalls etc around the man made lake in our city, i usually take atleast one dog with me every year.
