Avocados, avocados, avocados

   Every April for the last gazillion years or so Fallbrook has hosted  the Fallbrook Avocado Festival. It is held on Sunday only. Last year we missed it so this year I was determined to experience it!  As many of you may know, Fallbrook is " the avocado capital of the world"  It is quite an honor to actually reside in THE AVOCADO CAPITAL OF THE WORLD!  Dave and I do our best to consume multiple avocados every week.  Dave likes his best all mushed up in guacamole. The festival involved some competitions like cars built out of avocados and the best guacamole. Sadly we missed these stellar events because we had a more important place to be on Sunday morning :) Apparently thousands of people clog the streets of downtown Fallbrook for the event. Main Street and the side arteries are crowded with tents/booths selling everything imaginable- junk and treasures alike. And food, food, food!  I wanted you all to get a taste of the festival so I snapped a few photos…..

Mounds and mounds of fruit

Manila mangos are the BEST

Avocados anyone?

This guacamole has won many competions and it was delicious!

Check out the guy to the left in the tight pink leopard capris….pretty sure he doesn't live in Fallbrook

The Avocado Growers were displaying the 100 varieties of avocados

Saw this at a booth- not tempted to apply!
