Taste of Nostaglia

Just a quick note that the Gravenstein Apple Fair in West Sonoma County (Sebastopol) takes places this weekend, August 11-12 (Sat 10-6, Sun 10-5). I've been to the fair numerous times, and it really has a great "bygone era" feel...plus TONS of great food and drink goodies.
Here are a few of the food items you can find at the fair:
Sausages, funnel cakes, iced coffee, apple cider syrup, apple butter, granola, apple pies (whole and by the slice), Hawaiian shaved ice, cotton candy, lemonade, apple cobbler, coffee, nachos, garlic fries, apple fritters, kettle corn, frozen yogurt, caramel apples and cake with ice cream, Teriyaki chicken, toffee, gumbo, apple bread pudding, grilled gourmet crabcakes, calamari, jalapeno poppers, corn dogs, hot link sausage corn dogs, BBQ turkey drums, and tamales.

Come hungry, leave happy!

Hi adrienne,

If you go, look for me at the pie eating contest...or maybe at the funnel cake stand...of course, I could be at the hard cider tasting too,...and then there's the--oh, the H^%% with it: maybe we'll run into each other SOMEWHERE at the fair!

adrienne, fyi, apples have been known to aid those attempting to quit smoking. Just thought I'd pass that along, no particular reason.
