Lexington prepares for weekend of good food with barbecue festival

             The city is getting set for its 28th annual Barbecue Festival. This puts Lexington, North Carolina on the map and more than a year of preparing is going into this year’s festival. Saturday, the event will play host to six stages of entertainment, hundreds of craft vendors and family-friendly shows. Yet of course the main attraction will be the savory taste of the local barbecue. There will be over 100,000 people on Main Street in Lexington on October 22, 2011.

            Here we go again another year of the BBQ Festival and all those people here. I almost dread this day anymore. There are way too many people on Main Street. There isn’t enough room to walk anymore. I use to take my dog up there and walk them around but if I did it now, I’d lose my dog in the crowd.  The crowd is so large that someone stepped on my foot the last time I went there. That’s pretty bad when we are all outside and there isn’t enough room in the area that someone had to step on me. It’s ridiculous now and blown out of proportion.

            I use to love to look and buy the hand-made crafts that the local people made each year. I also use to go and stay all day too. But now I can’t get to every table to look at anything and if I stay all day I wouldn’t get to every table because of all the people there. The BBQ lines are long and you stand there for at least thirty minutes to get a sandwich. I just don’t eat BBQ there anymore because I can get it every day if I want it. So I just don’t bother even going up there anymore. It’s not worth the effect.
