Food Truck Bazaar

On the Porch

We  had a big event come to our small town Monday night, the Food Truck Bazaar. Living in a small town my closest encounter with a food truck was the hot dog stand at Lowe’s home improvement store or at the Catholic Church fair so I was very excited.

The Bazaar set up at one of our local parks on the river and it was one of those wonderful Florida Fall evenings with a nice breeze from the river. We arrived shortly after it began and I knew it was going to be big when we had to search for a parking space. Since this was the first time the bazaar had come to our town, they only sent ten trucks and they were parked in a circle and painted in a variety of colors and each offered different foods; the smells were incredible. Among the vendors, each powered by a generator, was my favorite, Cuban food. Also available were Southern food, British food, a coffee van, a cupcake truck and some others whose names I can’t remember. All except the cupcake truck had long lines.  In keeping with my motto, “when in doubt eat dessert first.” I headed straight for the cupcakes. I shared a s’mores with my daughter and it was truly Yum Yum which is the name of the vendor. I’m glad we went there first, the truck completely sold out, 1,900 cupcakes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was a fun time, people brought folding tables and chairs, and families were everywhere. Most amazing was the after effect. Food Truck Bazaar has a Facebook page and it was rocking with comments. The enthusiasm was over the top. Thanks were given out to the local folks who set up the event, photos were posted and comments were flowing. Our town has been hard hit by the end of the Manned Spaceflight Program. It was great to see our community laughing and sharing a spirit of camaraderie, we are already looking forward to the next one.
