Pork, Peanut and Pine

During the school year, I rarely go off campus for entertainment.  This is not because there aren’t plenty of venues to choose from, but instead, I don’t want to miss out on what is going on at William and Mary.  This summer, I am determined to take advantage of all that Virginia and DC have to offer.

Already, I have been able to take advantage of a show in DC, the Yorktown beaches and of course, Colonial Williamsburg.   There is so much more on my list!  By the end of the summer, I hope to have taken advantage of concerts in Richmond, Virginia Beach, camping in the Shenandoah and all the festivals that Virginia has to offer.  I’m not alone in this endeavor.  Myself and the rest of the Admission’s Interns keep a bucket list, which is growing at an exponential pace.   For every item that we are able to cross off, we add a few more.

I love getting out of town and seeing pockets of Virginia that I would never have seen if I didn’t go here.  I guess that’s my thinking behind all of this, see everything I can before I graduate.  Who knows where I will live next?

In the meantime…. Hello Pork, Peanut and Pine Festival!

Reading out loud all of the attractions at the Pork, Peanut and Pine Festival started to get us pumped up for the coming festival.

BBQ Cook-off:  I personally love the idea of competitive cooking.  A competition to see who can serve others the most delicious types of food?  I’m game.  Competitive cooking may only be second to competitive eating.

Funnel Cake: Nothing makes me sicker to my stomach than a funnel cake.  I can’t think of anything worse, actually.  But, other Interns seem to really enjoy the idea of this fried delicacy, so it will stay on the list for now.

Various bands (possibly involving banjo):  We will obviously be stopping by the grandstand, no questions asked.

Tie-dye, jewelry making, leather works:  Basically shopping at various booths in warm Virginia sunshine.  Sounds perfect.  I love to shop and I love the outdoors.  Win, win.

Pork, Peanut and Pine, get ready to say hello to the Intern class of 2011.
