Tehachapi Mountain Festival

I have lived here in Tehachapi for 16 years and only have attended the festival one time. Quite honestly that was enough for me. I didn't know what to expect since I am not a big fair or festival person. My son has been in the parade for the last 5 years. That is usually it for me, last year I did the festival too. I realized that I wasn't missing anything all these years. It was just a bunch of vendors selling things I can find in stores. I didn't see many homemade items. The only booth that had some cool things was the one selling chimes . Other than that there was nothing I couldn't live without. Food ....meh, nothing I needed to have. I saw a lot of people drinking. Maybe that's why people are enjoying themselves , for me it would be the food. Nothing good in that department, so I think I will continue staying home during Mountain Fest.

56th mountain festival. Not as many food booths as there used to be and I must say the vendors are not as good as they used to be. Everything used to be home made or crafty and it's all way too commercialized now. Luckily the Chinese food still comes :) I remember going to this as a kid up to a young adult and remembering all the people that would be here and buying cool things but, not anymore. Not as many people come and it's not the same feel as it used to be. The city has commercialized it too much which is very unfortunate.
