It’s fall which means that it is Stars Hallow Carnival time. In my town we have several crazy festivals, like one centered around rhubarb. The crazy factor is  this town does not now nor has it ever grown rhubarb, & I don’t think people particularly like rhubarb here, we don’t even border anyone who grows/has grown/ or likes rhubarb. So for a great “Stars Hallow” festival you will need:

 1. A Cause. Whether it’s restoring the town bridge, or buying a tarp for the newly restored town bridge, or the anniversary of a battle that almost happened, you have to have a reason. If you can’t find one, use rhubarb.

2. Food. Fried food that shouldn’t be fried, preferably on a stick. Easy preparation think of any food, say green beans.  Then, do people usually fry this food?  If the answer is no…go for it.

3. Gotta have a psychic, it can even be a dog named after a long forgotten singer. Just make sure to clarify that it is Paul Anka the dog, not the singer.

4. Founders Day Punch.  Enough Said.

5. Sure, you probably make fun of the over zealous lady in the turtleneck passing out pamphlets about how whatever activity you are partaking in is evil. Whether it is dancing, carnivals rides, or rhubarb, she has 15 reason why it is sending you to Hades. It isn’t a town function without a Mrs. Kim.  So give her a hug the next time you see her & gladly accept her eggless egg salad sandwich.
