Italian Feast

This past Sunday, I was able to attend an Italian Feast with my family. A main road called "Broadway," in Massapequa was closed from 11 a.m. - 6 p.m. and many food, clothes, jewelry, and toy vendors had purchased a spot in the street to set up and sell their products/items to the many people who walk up and down the block. There was even a petting zoo with pony rides. The fair was packed! People from all different towns traveled to come to this fair because it is known for the amazing Italian food. For example, the lines of people waiting to buy sausage and peppers, and raviolis was so long. The wait was about twenty minutes. I waited on line for the sausage and peppers from A&S Pork Store; the sandwich was enormous and delicious. The raviolis my family had waited for were tiny, yet very tasty. I could not believe how many people were walking up and down the block all day long. It was very hot out, but that did not stop people from waiting on line. That only made the lines even longer because people were becoming thirsty. It was such a beautiful, sunny day outside, and enjoying the fair with my family made this experience even better!
