Everything looks so tidy — especially for a festival of any kind. I can’t help wondering how a sweater seller could possibly do any business during a Texas summer… but people do like to shop in advance. Thanks for this little adventure, John. Everything looks colorful and fun. Oh, and that menu is awesome. I’m very intrigued by the stracciatella salad. Hugs.
