Morgan Hill Mushroom Mardi Gras–May 29, 2016

A friend described this event as “Gilroy Garlic Festival Lite,” and that’s a pretty good description. Click any picture to see it at a larger size.

I went primarily for the food. I had some deep-fried mushrooms (undistinguished), some mushroom risotto, which was very good, and some ice cream in the form of little beads.

I did resist the temptation for this:

Don’t know who this band is, but they sounded good and the audience really liked them a lot.

Yes, I am a cat person, but this puppy was so adorable that I had to get its picture.

The usual complement of arts and crafts was there; the bright colors of the lawn oranments and whirligigs attracted me.

Walking back to the car, I decided to take a pictue of some hills near Morgan Hill.
