Sunday around the Festival grounds
Gerald and Betty Calaway handled the Italian Dinner Ticket Booth on Sunday, as they have for years the beer tent of the Elks Lodge concession
the specialty micro-brewery beer tent of the Pete's Place concession one of the many food vendor concessions
another of the many food vendor concessions another of the many food vendor concessions
the beer tent of the Veterans of Foreign Wars' (VFW) concession another of the many food vendor concessions
it takes lots of steps to walk around the Festival when you have really short legs Max Kinyon, Sid Tolbert and Hi Impson - taking a well-deserved break
the reason Hi Impson got to take a rare break - Dean Haney filling in for him in the wash tent Carmen Finamore Buller and Kim Impson, watching some of the fine entertainment
the main Festival grounds, as seen from the entertainment Stage at the front of the Expo Building Waunelle Finamore (right) and her daughter Carmen Finamore Buller
some of the many Deputies provided by the Pittsburg County Sheriff's Office this year County Commission Randy Crone, who helped in many ways (including driving the tractor to pull out cars stuck in the unfortunate mud of the 1999 Festival)
corn dogs are popular at Festivals of all types, everywhere the helicopter - busy both days (at $20 a ride)
Sunday at the Sandwich Tent
hungry people lined up for hot, tasty sandwiches this little fellow seems to be all tired out
Lyle Stogner led the Sandwich Tent and his crew of volunteer workers to a great 1999 Festival families love the Italian Festival
the crowd builds up and the workers get busy the Sandwich Tent crew and the customers they make happy
