Sausage Festival

There are three reasons this Saturday is significant. First, it’s the day before Halloween, which means there will be lots of Saturday night pre-Halloween parties.

The second reason is the Original German Sausage Festival in Elberta from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. This is especially significant if you love sausage—this festival has the best you will ever taste. The town’s founding fathers developed the recipe for this tasty sausage, and you can only get it there. Makes my mouth water just thinking about it! There will be baked goods in addition to the sausage, as well as arts and crafts, live music, carnival rides, and a Bier Garten that features a large selection of imported beers.

The third reason Saturday is significant is it’s my mom’s birthday—and I’m terrible at mom gifts. She’s a fan of festivals, though, so I think a mother-son trip to the Sausage Festival may be in order.
