Salt Lake Greek Festival

[Moksha]

The Salt Lake City Greek Festival will be held this Friday, Saturday (and Sunday for you Rastafarians) at the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Cathedral of Salt Lake City and surrounding property will host the Greek Festival. The Cathedral is located at:

279 So. 300 W. - Salt Lake City, UT

There will be food, dancing, a midway for the kids and a chance to see the Cathedral.

Dancing and Baklava... Opa!

Theoretically, one could take either Trax or the Frontrunner and get off at the Old Greek Station, to save the hassle of parking, gas and making the environment a little greener.

I have fond memories of the Greek festival from back in the mid '90's. Picture if you will: My buddy's foolish girlfriend standing in the food area, loudly protesting the goat being roasted, talking about how it's evil to kill poor goats just to eat them. Then I reminded her that we had just come from McDonalds, where she had downed an entire big mac and half of her boyfriend's. It didn't seem to make much of a dent in her - she figured you could tell the goat was a goat, but a hamburger patty just looks like food.

She went on to have quite a career in foolish double-standards. Ahh, those were the days.

Wouldn't it be more evil to kill the goats and NOT eat them?

There was a famous hamburger joint in Ann Arbor where the cooking area was right along the front counter. You ordered and you watched your order being cooked, etc., while you made your way to the cash register. Said to have converted many to vegetarianism. In fact, some vegetarians would take meat-heads there on purpose.
