SINCE 1944--A
few summers ago, while traveling home from the Midwest, we came across an
unexpected bonus to our vacation as we discovered countless country fairs of
all sizes in cities and villages. Each
fair along the way in was different, however, each had a certain indescribable
Americana in common.
This weekend (Oct. 12 &
13) in San Diego’s historic North Park neighborhood, St. Patrick’s school and
parish is putting on its version of a county fair. All the trappings (except ferris wheel) of
the hokey goodness that makes community fairs great, will be packed into this
one square block of happiness.
Called the St. Patrick
School’s Fall Festival, the free event includes two full days of non-stop food,
craft beer tent and entertainment from local studios and bands.
The popular beer tent is
sponsored by the Stone Brewing outlet in nearby South Park. The school’s Hispanic Society was tasked with
providing authentic Mexican cuisine.
Other food is arriving from other tasty sources, including Hillcrest’s Hash House A-Go-Go. Weekend football games can be watched at
Sully’s Pub, which makes its annual appearance.
Granny’s Attic, the largest
rummage sale in the ‘hood will be open both days.
Games abound, including the
obstacle course and the carnival booths.
There will be face painting and hair fun in the Rockin’ Restyle
Room. Coopers books has a booth as does
the Art Attack Craft folks.
