Farmington Festival Fizzle?

... Yes, they are still using the same parachute from 20 years ago.

I finally got around to cleaning my car's air filter a few weekends ago, but cleaning my filter means that my car was out of commission for a whole day. My timing being terrible, my roommate graciously drove me up to Bountiful on Saturday the 12th of July, to attend...get this...my ten year high school reunion picnic. It was also coincidentally the same weekend as Farmington Festival Days! We dropped in with mom for a minute for old times sake. I have to say that it left something to be desired. I remember the days of the Big Wheel Races, "Bumper Car" and "Lollipop Tree" booths...those days are over. The updated 2008 festival only had about 8 booths which were all selling commercial products such as hydration towels, factory made purses, Scentsy potpourri, and insurance companies etc. Even the food was lacking with only 2 options for lunch, hot dogs or Peruvian. There were a few blowup jungle gymish things (see mom's blog). In about 5 minutes we had seen everything and I have to say we were somewhat disappointed. Oh well, "we can't all" -right?
