Today's Question(s): I love festivals, especially food, and art festivals! Are you a festival goer? If so what are some of your favorites?
I like festivals but only when the weather is comfortable. I love the festival foods!
Renaissance Festival, Garlic Festival, South Florida Fair...oh, and the sweet corn festival, too.

None and never, except for the wipes on the shopping cart handles at the market, as superSatx Dave said.

I don't like dancing but romantic dancing is good.

Have a good day everyone!
Thanks for the fun fun, Pat! And thank your cats, too! It smells like the House of Garlic in here!
Today's Question(s): I love festivals, especially food, and art festivals! Are you a festival goer? Sometimes. I have to be in the right mood to deal with the crowds. It's been a few years since I last attended one. If so what are some of your favorites? My favorite type is art fairs. My town has a huge Popcorn Festival the first Saturday after Labor Day, and it draws 80K to 90K people. (Popcorn mogul Orville Redenbacher was born in, and developed his hybrid popping corn in, my town.) I used to enjoy going, but not so much anymore. There are hundreds of craft booths, and I don't need any more crap (er, I mean crafts) in my house. There are scores of food booths, and I don't need the junk food in my diet. They usually have some good bands on stage throughout the day and evening, and I enjoy listening to them (unless it's country music and then I'm outta there).
Year ago, I used to go to Taste of Chicago, a huge food fair, every summer. After the first several years and a price increase each year, it just wasn't worth it to me anymore. But when I went I had a blast. Festivals in and near Chicago are always great fun!
Bonus Question(s): How often do you use: hand sanitizer? Rarely hand lotion? A couple times a day in winter; rarely in summer aloe vera gel? Never sun block? Whenever I know I'll be out in the sun for more than 20-30 minutes. lip balm? Every night before I go to bed. In winter, 2 or 3 times during the day as well.
Just for Fun: Are you the kind of person who likes to dance at parties, such as wedding receptions? I love to dance, as long as it's not one of those annoying "dances" such as the Macarena or Chicken Dance. And when they play that electric slide thing I can never get it! The song is over by the time I figure out which way to move. Can you do any named dances? Can - yes. Do - no.

I haven't tried this in decades, but I used to be very good at it.
