It's all part of having fun in the neighborhood. I cannot think of a better way to spend a summer evening then attending this church function. There is nothing like walking around the parish grounds with an estimated twenty-thousand others. There's something about the atmosphere you get from being with so many people on a hot and sticky summer evening. Something about being with all these lovely people who have been stuffing their faces with food and downing a few hundred beers.
Fights have seem to become a tradition at the Taste.
As the people under the beer tent get more and more inebriated and the heat becomes unbearable, tensions flare. We have no reason to fear because the planners of this event have stocked the place with security guards. Frankly, I do not know which scares me more, drunken fighters or incompetent guards with their Rambo mentalities being trusted with guns. They all travel around with the amusement company as they run from the law. It scares me to think that these men and women are trusted with the construction and operation of the rides, which are such a big attraction.
