Mandarin orange festival

November 24th, 2008 at 01:23 am

I went to Mandarin orange festival yesterday. I found an admission discount coupon, $5 for two, in the newspaper, and we parked in the street. (That's a huge advantage of a small town.) So, $5 total to get in the festival for me & DD.

I bought a 10 lb. bag of mandarin oranges. Most of vendors priced 10 lb. bag for $15, but I found $13 a bag vendor. I also bought creamed honey with mandarin orange flavor (1 lb. tub) for $6, Teriyaki flavor beef jerky $7, and a jar of Mandarin Cranberry pepper jelly $7. They are all homemade, or I should say farm made, and very very yummy.

As I'm writing this, I'm drinking a cup of tea sweetened with mandarin orange flavored honey. I will make some warmed bre cheese with pepper jelly for dinner appetizer.

    I haven't heard of that festival, but I am not surprised. My coworker lives in a mandarin orchard pretty much - the bags of mandarins will be arriving on my desk soon! (We were just discussing this because I was surprised we hadn't seen any yet).

    Thanks for your comment--I hope you were able to get the batteries--it was a great deal. I post the weekly deals on my site http://www.SwapSavers.com/ on the main page so you can plan your weekly shopping trips with coupon match ups.

    MM,
    I heard about the festival last year for the first time, but didn't have a chance to go. I love mandarin oranges.

    Back home, people buy boxes of mandarin oranges in winter, and go through them like crazy. I remember eating 5 or 6 of them a day when I was a kid.

    The funny thing is no one else is big on mandarins but my older son. He will be eating 5-6 per day, for sure. Hehe.

    Will have to remember to check out the festival next year!
