Huckleberries are the Utah State fruit but raspberries are the claim to fame for a nearby town, Garden City.  The annual Raspberry Festival is today and we’re going to be there.  The primary attraction, “The Best” raspberry shakes.  We pass through Paris and make another stop at Donut El Camino.  Our last visit the locals were all about the cinnamon rolls which were not yet out of the oven that day.  Today they are ready and they are huge, gooey, cinnamon-y and still warm from the oven.  Yum

On to the festival.  Turns out its mostly a giant craft market with a handful of food trucks.  There is entertainment but it’s not really to our liking.  We make a pass through and I am tempted at a couple booths with cool grand-daughter items.  Ultimately, I leave empty handed.  New to us, their midway is actually all inflatables: bounce houses, slides, a ninja warrior arena and similar.  Kids are having a great time.  One real miss, they don’t have the boldly advertised raspberry shakes.  Bummer.  Our solution, we go to the local burger place.  They have a thick, rich version that makes a great ending for the afternoon.
