Germantown Pretzel Festival - 2011

 We never miss the annual Germantown (Ohio) Pretzel Festival and we attended it again on 09/24/11. The day started foggy and damp but by early afternoon the sky began to break and the air began to warm (mid-60's). The crowds responded and Germantown's streets became clogged with festival-goers. Check out their website here.

 Many of the aisles at Veteran Memorial Park were standing room only. This is one of the rare ones where there was room to move.


 Mom always looks forward to buying bread from a group of church ladies. This is one of our first stops every year. Once the bread is in hand, she begins to relax.


 This is a better idea of how busy the festival was at about 1:15 p.m. The sun was shining and people arrived in droves.


 This band, When Rock Met Country, was excellent - and loud!



 We didn't stay long. Too crowded so bread-in-hand, we walked the mile back to the car. Maybe we'll go back tomorrow?
