Whenever October comes around, different people are put into mind of a lot of distinct things. Some people would immediately think of the cooler weather, the red and gold autumn leaves, and Halloween. In the Tri-State, however, October is when the West Side Nut Club Fall Festival will take place. The festival is a week long and covers both sides our four city blocks, and brings with it an allure of food, rides and games.
The Evansville civic organization, West Side Nut Club, is responsible for organizing the event. The first ever festival was held back in 1921, but it has since changed to become the second largest street festival in the whole of the United States. It has also been among the top 100 events for 2009 by the American Bus Association.
The biggest attraction of the festival, in the eyes of the a lot of participants, is the food. There are 126 food booths lining up both side of Franklin Street. You can find all festival staples here, of course: corn dogs, caramel apples, hamburgers, and everything else can be found here. But, what makes it exciting is the fact that many of the booths also offer a sampling of foods that you wouldn't expect to find in a fair. You could try a sampling of bean soup, or how about fried green tomatoes? Or maybe even crab Rangoon.
You may challenge your taste buds if you are feeling particularly adventurous by sampling some really exotic delicacies. Fancy some brain sandwiches? Or how about alligator stuffed potatoes? You'll see frog legs and chocolate-covered insects, too. If you want to go to the other extreme of the spectrum, there are some safe, grease-free snacks there, too. Vegetarians can indulge themselves on all the olives, green beans and salads.
While the food is settling in your stomach, you can take a break from walking and go to the crafts exhibit. There, you will find a lot of items that speak well for the talented individuals that hail from the Tri-State. Various blown glass works, wood carvings, and jewelry can be found here.
