YOU WILL ONLY SEE THIS HERE ! !

 GATHER ROUND, EVERYONE !!!

IT'S AGRO-ART... 

AFTER ALL, IT WAS AN ARTICHOKE FESTIVAL...  so feast your eyes on these masterpieces!!

i am sure the next one, featuring cabbages, is offensive to some established religion (apologies)

 And then - I entered the wine tasting exhibit - AND THERE WERE QUILTS!!!!

These fine ladies were selling a raffle quilt, just in front of the green vegetable display...  

What's a festival without an eating contest?  Artichokes??? The winner ate 20 ounces in three minutes!!

THAT'S THE NEWS from the Castroville, CA ARTICHOKE FESTIVAL!!

NEXT MONTH:  THE GILROY GARLIC FESTIVAL  - - YIPPEEEE .  I CAN ALREADY SMELL IT.
