Yesterday, Marci and I took our kids to a Greek food festival at a Greek Orthodox Church here in town. The church did a magnificent job of hosting an event that really showcased Greek food and culture. There was an agora set up with Greek crafts, baked goods, jewelry, and imports. There was a cultural exhibit with maps, books, statues, and people on hand to teach about Greek history. There was even a stage where the kids could learn Greek dancing. A live band provided a really festive atmosphere. Food was the primary focus of the event. We got a sampler platter so we could try many different items.
I thought lunch was delicious, but the boys were not feeling terribly adventurous. Emma, on the other hand, knows how to live it up at a food festival. She had a fork in each hand and was shoveling in feta cheese and flat bread as fast as I could load them!
It was fun to experience such a warm and friendly group of people, and I love a culture that loves to celebrate with great food! Super fun day with super special friends.
