Rolling Rock Festival
We are going to Columbus, OH for the Rolling Rock Festival, an annual party held by my parents' friends from college. My family has been going for many years, and I'm looking forward to playing bocce ball, drinking Rolling Rock beer, and enjoying diverse conversation and potluck dishes. In the evening several people usually break out their instruments (consisting of banjos, guitars and a washtub bass) and play Peter, Paul and Mary songs, bluegrass and blues music. This party's constituents have changed a lot over time, some growing older, some leaving us, and of course new people being invited, but the spirit has always been the same. The only thing I'll never figure out is who used to bring the chocolate-powdered-sugar-Chex-mix in a cat food bag, and made "cat food" my favourite snack.
