昨天星期天，下午3点我们赶去downtown，参加为时两天2009年第28届意大利节(Eldorado Great Italian Festival)，热闹拥挤的现场有来自美国加州、内华达州近百家经营意大利美食的单位比赛烤制意大利面酱，大家有次序地排队免费品尝加上酱汁和芝士粉的面包片，我由衷祝贺笑颜动人的粉红女组合(第2张)得到今年的第3名！
 

 
理想黄金国宾馆(Eldorado Hotel Casino)是活动的主办方，内部多处附设中文服务。徜徉在街上，意大利醇酒佳肴、踩葡萄比赛(Grape Stomping Contest)、传统农夫市场、意大利高跷、bocce球比赛和精彩文娱表演等，令人目不暇接:
 

 

 
意大利冰淇淋、意大利酱汁和意大利橄榄油沾面包、香槟酒、意大利肉丸子等让人一饱口福:
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
活动现场面对美食，大家最喜欢说的一个词就是FBI</STRONG> (Full Blooded Italian)，正宗意大利美食的意思，不是指美国联邦调查局哦。
 

 

 

 
It's a festival frenzy of Italian food, music and fun at The Eldorado Great Italian Festival, Saturday and Sunday, October 10 & 11. The 28th annual festival features the sights, sounds and tastes of Italy all day from 11 a.m. to 4p.m. on Virginia Street in front of the Eldorado Hotel Casino.
 

 

 
Festival highlights include free live Italian entertainment on three stages, a spaghetti sauce cook-off, traditional Italian fare, the famous grape stomping contest, bocce ball tournament, kids' gelato eating contest, a gourmet Italian buffet inside the Eldorado at 4 p.m. each day. Don’t miss the last big farmer’s market of the season as well as the Garlic Growers Association of Gilroy and the Castroville Artichoke Growers. Festival-goers should get there early for the $1 pasta bowls at 2 p.m. and to enter the drawing for a Free Trip to Italy that will be given away at 3 p.m. on Sunday inside the Eldorado on the casino floor. Live bands will be performing on the 3rd & 4th Street stages.
