Festa Italiana

Boy, two food festivals in one week...heaven for me, ha! Every year we make our way to Festa Italiana at the Boylan Catholic High School grounds for some good old fashioned Italian food and entertainment. Since Chris is a quarter Italian, and went to Boylan, he has been going to this festival since he was a kid. Yesterday evening we went, and had a great time. We were pleased that Matthew liked all the food as well! We ate some toasted ravioli, arancini (fried rice ball made out of risotto, and filled with meat, peas, and cheese), meatball sandwich, fried zucchini, sfingi (fried sweet dough balls), and lemon granita ice. I have had my fill of fried foods for the week!

The band Men of our Times performing (Chris's cousin Pat is in it), the food tents, and dancers...
Some of the food (only I am dorky enough to take pictures of the food), and Matthew eating a bite of the arancini like a little bird...
