 Over the weekend we were invited out to Knott's Berry Farm to check out this years Boysenberry Festival. This is one of our favorite events of the year at any park and this year was definitely not a disappointment. Great food, amazing park. Let's get to the good stuff shall we!! Written by Gregg Condon Welcome to the Knott's Boysenberry Festival!!  If you'd like to take some of the event home you can get your own Boysenberry Plant!!  But we're just here for the food. =)    Our first of the day, Pierogis and Short Ribs. Both were absolutely amazing of course. I'm also not a big "Sour Cream" person, but Boysenberry Sour Cream? I'm all over it!!  We also had to try the Coconut Macaroon, it was delightful and we still have one left. Guess what I'm eating after I finish this update. (Hey, I had a good workout today) =)  Some of the booths are inside, some like the Chicken Wings are outside.  Let's check out some of the amazing springtime decorations!!    Where's the fog? =)      Moo  Some amazing artwork was on display in Wilderness Dance Hall  Look closely at the Timber Mountain Log Ride one =)  Love the Huff and Puff ... still want a grown up version of this classic ride  Let's eat some more food shall we!!  Boysenberry Sausage ... this was quite simply my favorite thing we ate all day  Boysenberry Quesadilla and Boysenberry Cornbread. You can get the Cornbread at the Boardwalk BBQ.  Elote ... fantástico  The Boysenberry Hummus had a surprising kick to it, but it was yummy  Not usually a fan of Boba, but loved this.  Here's what's on the Tasting Card this year. You have 8 items to try, but it's not one for each item. You could get 8 of the same thing if you want this year. A nice change that allows you to revisit some favorites later in the day. And that's what we did. We tried everything once, and then had our favorites again later. Also, keep an eye on the a 'la carte prices, as the Macaroon is only $1.59 whereas most of the other items are $7-$8.  Sadly we forgot to go back and get some of this later in the day  A look at the plethora of Boysenberry Merchandise       We had an amazing time as always, the park was busy, but didn't seem too bad to move around and get food. All of the lines moved very quickly and we had a fantastic time. Be sure to check out the Boysenberry Festival until April 9 . Click the link for full details. We'll be back tomorrow with a full HangTime update!! Related Updates:  This past weekend we FINALLY made it out to Knott's Berry Farm to check out this years Ghost Town Alive. Oddly enough for Fathers Day the park was pleasantly empty which meant a fun day for us and the awesome characters of Ghost Town. Written by Gregg Condon Welcome to Knott's Berry Farm  Be careful or you might find yourself in jail  Somebody stole the Catawampus  Or did it escape?  It was an absolutely gorgeous day at the park   We spent some time trying to solve some crimes and get edumacated ...     Maybe we'll find the Catawampus on Boot Hill   Excuse me sir, do you know where we can find Catawampus  After wishing up a happy Fathers Day the Calico Gazette broke the news that Mayfield has been captured. Fake News?  At the end of the day all is peaceful in Calico  There are also some projects going on around the park  Boardwalk BBQ is coming along quite nicely   Over on the other side, lots of room for something ...  Hopefully we'll hear what's going here very soon  Last but not least, some Scary Farm prep has begun   That's going to wrap it up for this update, we hope you enjoyed. This week we'll be heading up for our (mostly) "Great White North" trip with visits to the Hockey Hall of Fame on Sunday, Canada's Wonderland on Monday, Seabreeze on Tuesday and Darien Lake on Tuesday Night/Wednesday. Be sure you're following along all weekend. Related Updates: |
