National Lentil Festival

Pullman is the Lentil Capital of the World. Every year before school, it hosts the National Lentil Festival. Since Kristen and I aren't doing band this year, we actually had a chance to take part in the festivities. I must say, I was impressed with the quality of the festival. On Friday we went downtown to experience the street fair. We sampled lentil chili, looked at the different booths, and even helped a lost child find her parents. On Saturday morning, we watched the Lentil Parade on Main Street with a couple of friends. There were a lot more entries in the parade than I thought there would be. We yelled for all of our friends in the Cougar Marching Band when they came down the road, but an old lady got mad because she "wanted to hear the band play, not you four yelling." Anyway, I took some pictures at the parade and have uploaded them as an album. Click here or check out DupyPics to view them.
