All about the Garlic Festival
Kudos to parking lot volunteers: "I wanted to congratulate you on the story on the Garlic Festival. It's a good reason why local papers should stay in existence. On your heroes though, I think you left someone out that is a super volunteer that you might want to go back and consider. It's the lady, I believe her name is Suki, who runs with 350 volunteers in the parking lot. Those kids work in the dust and it's a remarkable feat that they can even live through that. I'm telling you this in spite of the fact that is cost me $120 to park there because I blew a tire on a rock. But I'd like to see those people given credit along with the fire throwers and so forth in Gourmet Alley. Thank you."
