This weekend they were celebrating their Little Italy Festival. The festival is run by the L.I.F.T. (Little Italy Festival Town) board, and the City of Clinton. Each year a Little Italy Festival Queen of Grapes is crowned, as well as Re (King) & Regina (Queen). We missed out seeing the crowning but spent a couple of hours enjoying the sights and sounds. They had music, games and contests. We watched two rounds of the meatball eating contest. And food..they had food...every "fair" food I've ever seen as well as a couple of new ones. Have you ever had a lemon shake-up?? That drink is lemon-aide all mixed up and ready (except for the water) for a shake up right before you get it. Water is poured in..and the drink is shook up going from 1 cup to another until the sugar dissolves. We didn't try one but they looked very refreshing. I checked out their website and the pictures from last years festivals are a hoot!!I'm sorry we missed this years parade.
We changed sites this afternoon. When we arrived yesterday the site we choose didn't have a sewer connection. Since we'll be here for 2 weeks we wanted one of those. So, once the park started to clear out today, we choose another site with sewer and moved into it. The site is right on one of the lakes. There are 11 lakes on the property. Once the sun started down this evening it was wonderful to sit out under the awning admiring the lake view as the sun set.
