White Trash Food Festival
For those of you who'd like to get as far away from hydroplanes and amateur drunks as possible this Sunday, Rexville Grocery in Mt. Vernon is holding its fifth annual "White Trash Food Festival" this Sunday from 1-5 p.m. Famed LaConner author Tom Robbins is expected to reprise his role as master of ceremonies (Aug. 3 update: Robbins e-mailed to say he has a scheduling conflict; see comments section for detail), crappy beer will be served, cheez whiz and spam will be tasted, "Freebird" will be covered, priority parking will be given to trailers, and original creations will be judged for trashiness at about 2 in the afternoon. And if anyone has, say, an old Firebird to loan carless Tacoma-based intern T.J. Tranchell so he can cover the event live, let us know where and when to pick it up in the comments section.

Alas, Robbins sends his regrets for the event, due to a previously schedule mayonnaise tasting at his humble abode: \"The white trash event was originally scheduled for 12 August, so I went ahead and arranged for the mayonnaise tasting that Alexa and I host each summer in our kitchen to transpire on 5 August. Then, the Rexville dons switched dates, and it was too late for the mayonnaise connoisseurs (small in number) to change. So, no, I won\'t be judging the stuffed Spam and Tang pie this year. That\'s a shame because I\'m the only judge in these parts who actually cut his teeth on hillbilly haute cuisine. Our mayonnaise tasting should be better than ever, though. We test blind and last year had 23 varieties. Should be even more entries Sunday, including mayo from Turkey and Greece.\"

The sad thing is that Aug. 11th is the \"Bite of Belfair\" you can watch Hillbilly\'s eat good food.
