Tamale Festival

We went to the Tamale Festival in Somerton. It was 3 years ago when we were last there...the crowds were smaller...as the weather was cooler.

We had Beef Tamales, .... the tamale is wrapped in corn husks.

We tried an Apple Pecan Tamale....(the Corn Husk has been removed). It sounded good...but imagine cornmeal around apples, flour, spice and a few pecans with a dust of icing sugar and a swirl of caramel....now if I had a ladle of caramel... I would maybe have another one:)

Okay...so Tamales are NOT our favourite thing to eat....but the spirit of the Festival is fun:)

I saw Santa in the distance!!

We enjoyed the entertainment... it was a local group, and reminded hubby of the Irish Rovers.

Tamale Festival

Down the road from Yuma...in the town of Somerton....

Main Street was Packed...

With people and over 40 Tamale Booths.... 

We wondered what a Tamale Festival was...

and it is Tamales... 

If you like crowds...and Tamales you have it made!!!

It was a fun experience...even thought I don't like crowds...

and the Tamales...were ok:))
