Jubilee Day!

As music from two stages rings through the downtown on Thursday, patrons can enjoy great food, fun games, and exciting amusement rides. The event also features wares from local and regional artists and craftsmen.

This is where Zack and I will be on Thursday! Most people probably haven't heard of it, and even the locals I talk to really aren't all that excited, but I have to words for them - CARNIVAL FOOD. It's the food people! The food is what makes me want to go to Kennywood every year even more than the rides! Potato patch fries, hot dog on a stick, fresh sqeezed lemonade, square ice cream cones! It's the best part of any festival or fair, meat kabobs, giant sugary drinks, fresh kettle corn, funnel cakes and my favorite...deep fried oreos. Yes, possibly the single most unhealthy food ever created, the deep fried oreo is pure bliss. Warm moist cookie and cream (not soggy, just soft) covered with a crisp funnel cake batter and sprinkled with powdered sugar. It may sounds crazy to some, but this is truly the reason Zack and I will be going to Jubilee Day. It's also fun to get out of the house, do something different, be somewhere where everyone is having good, old fashioned summer fun. However, it is nothing compared to the deep fried oreo.

I'll try to post some pictures in a few days to show you guys the goings on of "downtown mechanicsburg." If you want to check out the history of Jubilee Day, you can do that here: http://www.mechanicsburgchamber.org/JubileeDay.shtml>
