'The Ostrich Festival', one of the '10 unique festivals in US'...so said the Website...So, rather than wasting a saturday at home, we decided to drop in to see the long-legged (non)beauties.
Getting there was an adventure in itself...but once there, it was an experience in itself....it was a huge carnival, and awesome rides...like giant wheel, kamikaze, etc,etc...it was crowded too...the usual melee of ppl, old young, hot, cold...the ostrich race is a huge attraction, we managed to get good seats, coz we were there a full 45 minutes early...:D The races were funny, there were ostriches, emus, alpacas, ponies, camels and chick(en)s too...the MC was a funny guy, cracking pj's which would give our very own 'PJ' a complex...we howled with laughter...and there were different kinds of races, roman style races(with carts drawn by ostriches), kids herding the emu's to the finish line, chicken racing...the 50 minute show was a riot.... To top it all off, there was a pig-race too, with a couple of beauties being hand-picked from the spectators to cheer the pigs(complete with pom-poms and slogans...) my 'babe' won...:D
