2017 Sept 4, Labor Day at Sweet Tater Festival Smith Lake Park Cullman, Alabama

After dropping our van off at Champion Chrysler Dodge in Athens (the air-conditioner not working) @ 7:30AM, we stopped at Cracker Barrel for breakfast. I ordered two pieces of bacon, one scrambled egg, two pieces of whole-wheat toast, and a bowl of fried apples. Hubby ordered the big breakfast meal.

At the Petting Zoo, we saw a camel, some sheep, a couple of pigs, a rabbit, a couple of llamas & some goats.

We attended the Sweet Tater Festival Cullman. 
They are famous for their Fried Sweet Tater Pies so we bought one.
It was awful (somebody cannot cook tater pies). 
We walked through all the vendor booths stopping to buy a leather key chain.
Many of the people at the park were riding in Golf Carts, and babies and small children were in stroller or wagons.

The Classic Cars were located in the shaded area of the park. This is always my favorite part of the festival. 
We left after walking around the park for a couple hours.

In Athens, we stopped at Aldies for a few groceries.
At home I cooked hamburgers with onions, adding taco sauce, to make tacos.
Hubby tackled the grass after dinner.
