Favorite thing about Wurstfest? Enjoying food I usually only eat once a year. And the cooler weather.
If you had one extra hour of free time each day, how would you spend it? I’d spend it with my wife and kids.
Favorite candy? My kids can count on me to steal anything with chocolate from their Halloween bags.
