You must have been there while the good performers were playing.  I don't
think I've ever heard a worse band than the one which was playing around 
7pm.

I think that "The Fancy Lamb" had iced tea - at least someone ordered it 
and was given a dark brown liquid.  And the ice cream/computer repair 
place probably had ice cream.

I had some lamb slices at "The Fancy Lamb" and a sandwich at the Wool 
Growers stand.  Both were pretty good, although the first place was 
amazingly disorganized. 

All in all, the Festival wasn't terrible, but it also wasn't worth 
going back to.
