I didn’t buy any peanuts there this year so I didn’t see what kind they had boiled and were selling. It’s just a thought, but y’all may be used to getting the jumbo peanuts. Some farmers grow the jumbo ones, but most grow the variety known as runners, which are a smaller peanut. The smaller peanuts are what most of us around here prefer and are accustomed to eating. Maybe next year they’ll have both kinds so you can have a choice.

I agree with adlem- We were very disappointed in the small and undercooked peanuts we bought! Other than that we had a great time at the festival.

70,000. Not even the Rolling Stones draw a crowd like that. I wonder what the total revenue generated was?

While we enjoyed a short trip to the festival, I was very disappointed in the peanuts that I bought! Paid $10 for a gallon bag of undercooked peanuts that were the smallest I have seen!! Had to reboil when we got them home, but that still didn’t make up the size!! There were some great vendors though!

Went to this festival many years ago. Had a wonderful time. Glad it still continues to this day.
