Dear Duchess

Woof! Woof! This Duchess Pug is woofing because they don't allow dogs at the "Tastes of Durango!" I had to stay home with Sadie on this beautiful Sunday morning in SW Colorado while NW Okie goes out to savory the "Tastes of Durango" between 11:00a.m. to 3:00p.m.! Does it sound like discrimination of pugs ... or dogs?

Anyway ... I guess they had a big crowd for the City of Durango's "Tastes of Durango" this year. More than the year before is what NW Okie overheard someone say.

They blocked off three blocks of Main Street in downtown Durango and let those human beings stroll for three blocks in the street as they sampled the delicacies, fanfares and drinks of all sorts from the restaurants who set up booths on the streets. You purchased these items with tokens purchased at the City of Durango booths situated throughout the festival on the streets.

Durango's Main Street runs North and South. This is a panorama view of the East side of the street showing the crowds waiting in line for their favorite food and drinks while visiting with each other.

Here is another panorama shot of the crowd of old and young alike standing around while a band entertains on the makeshift bandstand across the street from the "Old Timers" restaurant.

This festival was for the cause of raising money for the Manna Soup Kitchen in Durango. If you have not been to Durango, it has some mighty tasty variety of places to savory as far as dining out goes. AND ... of course, there are a few brewery's that set up for tastes of different kinds of beers. They had the bottled water and non-alcoholic drinks, as well!
