This week is our annual fall festival. They close down about 6 blocks on the city's west side from Mon - Sat night. There are rides, games and over 120 booths serving any type of food(mostly fried) you can think of. All the booths are operated by non-profit orginazations as fund raisers; churches, school bands, athletic clubs etc. With the good weather we've had this week they're averaging 65-70,000 people per day
. That includes people going out for lunch time too. http://www.nutclub.org/ I think it's the second largest annual outdoor event in the US. Only Mardi Gras attracts more people.
