Bethlehem Star Festival Today (2011)

Mayor of Bethlehem Sandy McNab, who ran unopposed according to the Barrow County Journal, and his secretary, a reporter for the Barrow County Journal, will be welcoming the crowds of families to the annual Bethlehem Star Festival. They will not be stopped by the someday to be installed RED LIGHT Mr. McNab has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars trying to get installed. Nor do they have to worry about Bethlehem being a 'dry city' by tradition, alcohol is now brought in by the eighteen wheeler. McNab, a government employee in Gwinnet County by day, is enjoying the new taxes and is even talking about attracting new businesses to the city such as WalMart with the hopes of collecting even more taxes. Nope, the city with the Star and all the streets named after things in the Bible is no longer the same. Booth rental for the BETHLEHEM STAR FESTIVAL has been jacked up to $50, but you can still expect to find the usual hot dogs, boiled peanuts, and lemonade. Chick-Fil-A, 3 miles away, with a Bethlehem address, will not be participating. Nor will Stevi B's, also 3 miles away with a Bethlehem address but answers the phone and advertises as 'Stevi B's Winder', bother to show up. The Bethlehem Star Festival is held in downtown Bethlehem, at the corner of Christmas Ave and Star Ave, there is even a kid's Ferris Wheel this year. Yup, pony rides for the kids and the unemployed hubby can sneak on over to Chevron, load up on porno mags and crack pipes, and blow $30.00 for some "Manufactured By Bliss" incense, not for human consumption. Me? Ill go down and take a few pics, see if any of the bad amateur musicians show up for their gigs, and try to find something to buy for a few dollars from one of the arts and crafts vendors. If I can find anything, it'll probably be just the boiled peanuts, hot dogs, and lemonade vendors and a few politicians and government booths. Im too old for the inflatables and they won't let me take a pony ride. The GREAT THING ABOUT LIVING IN BARROW COUNTY, is that you can say whatever you like in your blog because the controlled local media is just part of the good ol' boys and nobody will ever know about it. Just for laughs, Im going to hang out at the Chevron and spot the Meth-II addicts coming back for yet another packet of $30 'incense' MANUFACTURED BY BLISS.

Yup. Methylenedioxypyrovalerone (Meth II), will be available at today's Bethlehem Star Festival 2011.
