Liner Notes

August means Pepper Fest is near! Here's my annual tribute to our village festival. #fuc

Lyrics

Seventy, seventy, Pepper Fest is turning seventy
It’s a festival you just must see
Come to Pepper Fest Park with me

In 1954 they formed a festival we adore
The purpose was to help out the school
The food and fun galore made the people cry for more
The Pepper King and court still rule

Chorus

The music in the park is in the day and after dark
There’s a parade and contests to win
A button is required to do all that is desired
Pepper Fest has magic within

Chorus

Come and stay for all three days
Or just an hour or two
Having fun while we fund raise
For community we love true

Chorus

I'm up for a Pepper Fest, a Chili Fest, a Garlic Fest and I'm up for this great song too!

There was a time, I'm told, when singing telegrams were a thing. You've branched off in a new adaptation, the singing brochure. I must say that your singing version of the fest's information is far more interesting and fun than the brochures that arrive in my mailbox.

Seems to me that someone had a song about Pepper Fest at a previous FAWM or 5090. Was that you? Will there be a 71st anniversary song?

ive never heard of a pepper fest. where and when does it take place? if this is a real event, id love to attend. if you invented it for the song, you are a genius.
