Sacramento Greek Festival 2013

Attended the 50th annual Sacramento Greek Festival on Sunday.

We had $2 discount coupons, so $6 for both of us to enter. We passed many costumed attendees of SacAnime as we entered the Sacramento Convention Center...and, since the Sacramento Greek Festival granted free admission to SacAnime attendees, we saw many of them wandering about the Sacramento Greek Festival area. : o )  Quite a melting pot, listening to the Annunciation Choir while Master Chief and a Predator walked by.

I sampled:

• Vegetarian dolmathes: Grape leaves stuffed with riceand seasonings - $3
• The Old Spaghetti Factory’s Spaghetti: with browned butter and mizithra cheese. - $7
• Pilafi: Rice flavored with butter and lemon juice - free (shared by Lanna)
