The Garlic Festival is our local version of Disneyland.
Many of our friends make a long journey to Gilroy
to party, eat, dance, eat, drink (wine, beer, apricot freezes, water), and
just have a good time. This is my favorite time of the year. It gets hot
some times, but I love having our great friends share our house.
Here are a few pictures of our wild festival.

Expensive drinking at $1 a shot!
The question at the garlic festival soon became...
who could get the biggest shot of wine, and from whom.

And sometimes they just get out of control, even at $1 a shot!

Luckily for me, they'll let anyone in.
Some people had to work the festival. This is part of the garlic cleaning
competition. We scramble for garlic afterwards.![](cleaninggarlic.jpg)
