Yesterday was the first Herkimer Downtown Chowdown of the year! The food truck festival takes place Mondays all summer long in Meyers Park. It features a variety of vendors and live music. I had to cover the Herkimer Town Board Meeting for the Sentinel Media Company yesterday, and it was right on my way to stop and have a hot dog. Like I said, a variety of food choices, but I LOVE hot dogs!
Herkimer loves its Chowdown!
Full disclosure: I did not take any pictures, trusting to having something in my Media Library I could use. I did not stay long at the Chowdown anyways. I enjoyed my hot dog and chatted with a couple of my friends from the Herkimer County Historical Society. They had a table where they were selling tickets for their grill raffle as well as promoting some of their events. I may go to a class on genealogical research.
Another picture from a different year, but I think this truck was there again.
Hildreth and Kelsey were the musical entertainment. They were still playing when I came back through the park after my meeting. I danced my way along the path. I find musicians like it when you do that.
You can follow the event on Facebook at The New Herkimer Downtown Chowdown. I hope to catch a few of my favorite musicians there, at least briefly. And sample some of the other delicious foods!
