Anybody ever get a turkey leg for $98.99 or whatever crazy price it is? First OTC I attended, I saw the price and laughed out loud. (Of course, this comes from a guy who lives in NW Arkansas, home of George's, one of the biggest turkey producers in the world. Turkey is everywhere down here...chicken, too! (Ha!)
"Howdy there folks! My name is Junior Dugan, and I'll be drivin' your diving bell!"

My kids love the Walking Taco's too.  Isn't there another Walking Taco stand down by the Saloon?

I used to really like the Chile in a bread bowl. The first few years of OTC they actually kept this warm in a cast iron kettle over a open fire. But that was when you could get in at Christmas for 5 bucks.

Parson, No,,, the taco stand was down there 2 years ago, last year was on the main square where it is this year..

My husband loves Red Velvet cake, so we got one of the funnel cakes a couple weeks ago when we went. Yup $9 hurts! It was good, very rich. Because it's so cold out it cooled off very fast. The two of us only finished about half of it. Probably won't be getting one again. But if you have a group that can finish it quick before it cools off (and don't mind the price) I say it's worth a try.
"Red Flanders, you come back in here and put on your pants!" "Well Sadie, I ain't got no pants no more. The dang Baldknobbers stole 'em!"

We eat breakfast/ lunch before we go...and then end up usually getting soup, or pizza at a local restaurant for dinner-anything warm that we can take back to the cabin and eat in our jammies while wrapped up in a blanket is good.

I did try the do-it-yourself smore one year...good, but I am not a big marshmallow fan, so I would have rather had a big bag of kettle corn-something I am not sure, but I don't think they make in the winter.

they were selling kettle corn on the main square just east of the Tree when we there 3 weeks ago.....  AND the kettle corn stand by GG was open also..

How does the make your own smores work? Is it an open fire? A 'mallow roaster much like an easy bake oven? Do you select how much/little chocolate you use? Price?
The smell of asphalt and butane says home!

From what I remember you could choose (now mind you it was 10-15 yrs ago!) between cookies and graham crackers, there was a fire pit with metal fork/ pokers they would place the marshmallows on, you would then do all of the work...you would roast the mallows to your liking, then they would hold your cookies, and chocolate and help you get the mallow off and onto your smore. (maybe it was different for adults, but as a kid/ early teen, thats how mine went.)

I was standing by the smote (I know how to spell it, but it I keep get corrected!!!! Argh!!!) ANYWAY, you roast your own marshmallow over a fire pit, and then it's sandwiched between two chocolate chip cookies.  We skipped on the red velvet funnel cake, but sprung for a turkey leg.  Seriously, it was worth it!  We got fries with it, shared it, and still brought some of it home with us.  The cinnamon rolls at Delilah's were warm and fantastic!!  FINALLY, ...FINALLY, got to try the apple dumpling.  It is my new fav treat!  Hubs and I split one - he got all of the cinnamon ice cream since I'm lactose intolerant, which left most of the dumpling to me.  We got one by the Saloon show.  YUM!!

I am a HUGE fan of that movie...Needless to say I am going to have to get another one next time I am there (it has been nearly 15 years since my last one)

Really? Are the turkey legs really that expensive? What would make them so expensive?
