Saturday morning Bob and I left fairly early and drove to Elberta, AL…a small community about 20 miles from where we are in Fairhope. It was the day of their semi-annual sausage festival that is put on the the Elberta volunteer fire department…at least I think it is volunteer. Elberta is very, very small…but it is home to The Road Kill Café and a great cheese farm (can you call a place where they make cheese a farm?).
Okay so back to the festival. We got there early so there were no lines to get our sausage that was served on a bun with sauerkraut. It was pretty good but I was raised on some of the best sausage ever that is made about 15 miles from Caldwell in the little town of Snook, Texas. Okay, okay…anyway we had our sausage.
They had lots and lots of vendors…many of them were selling commercially made items but there were quite a few that had items they had made…lots of jewelry…some of it was lovely.
This man was grinding corn.
Bob ran into a couple of old friends.
Of course they had an oompah band.
Some of the crowd.
There was another band performing called The Stumpfiddle Band. They are members of the Moose Lodge in Pensacola, FL. They were outstanding…would love to hear them again. Their instruments were unusual.
Most people were having a great time…
But not everyone…he was so cute.
It was a fun morning but now we’re…moving on.
