9/ 29-30: HUDSON VALLEY GARLiC FESTIVAL iN SAUGERTiES— I’m
not sure if it’s true or not, but I recall hearing somewhere
that the only time the slave workers who built the Pyramids ever
gave their Egyptian masters any trouble was when their garlic ration
was cut. True or not, it doesn’t make it any less believable.
Adopted by the Kiwanis Club, the Hudson Valley Garlic Festival has
become a big local favorite, even getting props from USA Today.
Includes live music, arts and crafts, kid’s area, lectures
and demonstrations, and just about everything on the planet that
can be done with a bulb of garlic. No pets, please. Cantine Field
in Saugerties, Sa 10 AM - 6 PM, Su 10 AM - 5 PM.
