2010.9.18. Sausage Festival at Redhook

Redhook Brewery's Sausage Festival (noon - 7pm). Disappointing (long wait, expensive, noisy, lousy music, muddy ground, almost no place to sit). $5 entrance fee (a long to check if you carry any liquid). Then you line up to buy tokens, then you line up in front of each booth to buy what you want to eat / drink. Only one booth sells beer ($4 a plastic cup, 6 choices, one ran out), and only one booth sells sausage (from Uli's, $2 half a sausage). Other food stands are: one hot dog (from Dantes, $4 each, a 2 hr line, because only one guy was serving), one sells Salumi's cold cut with a piece of baguette ($4 a small selection), one for crepe ($3, from Anita), one for ice cream ($3), one for sandwich ($2 a tiny wedge), one for popcorn ($1 a bag from J&D), one sells Oberto's jerky. A couple of stands ran out of food at 3pm. At least food is decent, but not enough.
