Eat Fest

"There is an event the first and second weekend of October in Fulton County, Illinois called The Spoon River Drive. It's a sort of all town flee market in all the little towns along the Spoon River. This is our 10th year going as a group and our second year wearing matching t-shirts from CustomInk. We have a second name for the Spoon River Drive; Eat Fest. We mainly love going and eating all the exotic vendor food items like fried candy bars, tenderloins as big as your face, rib eyes, doughnuts, onion rings, bratwurst, apple cider, apple dumplings, and the list goes on from town to town. There is a place, a high hill, called Mt. Pisgah, which was at one time an Indian village. Local Native Americans set up teepees, drum circles, and other exhibits there. The land Mt. Pisgah changed hands this year and was under threat of not having the exhibits on top of the mount ever again. It's a favorite of everyone's so I designed a shirt that was both reflective of Mount Pisgah on the front, and showrf our Eat Fest side on the back. One of the Native Americans set us up with great props for our group photo. Strangers were actually saying to us, "I want one of those Mt. Pisgah shirts." We learned while we were there that The Spoon River Drive will continue on Mt. Pisgah next year, which made everyone very happy. We loved our shirts last year and we love them this year. CustomInk does a great job." - KellyG (Oct 23, 2009)
