We love going to quirky, family-oriented festivals. The RC Cola and Moon Pie Festival in Bell Buckle, TN, definitely qualified. We attended the festival with our friends, Bill and Bitsy, from nearby Smyrna. The day was one of those stupid hot days, upper 90's with humidity to match. We watched the mini-parade and gathered moon pies as they were hucked into the crowd from the parade floats. I do think the Mobile Mardi Gras parade yielded more Moon Pies; but its parade was a lot longer too.
Moon Pie introduced two new flavors this year, Birthday and Key Lime. The latter is only available through Publix or Moon Pie directly.
We took turns meandering among the vendors, soaking up air-conditioning in stores, and sitting in the shade. By about 3:00 pm, we'd had enough of the heat despite the rainstorm that soaked the guys and the chairs. We left for a late lunch at Miller's Grocery, taking advantage of the free dessert coupons we picked up at the festival.
Hey, there's a National Banana Pudding Festival in October in Centerville, TN. Hmm....
