4:02
back in here so maybe you'll sell a few
4:04
the tables stretch all the way over here
4:06
plenty of
4:08
room and you can go through
4:12
the tunnel over here but
4:15
where it stops is so all these tables
4:18
have been expanded
4:19
but there is a fence up there i'm
4:22
noticing the water on the flume is
4:23
running
4:24
oh no way they have the train out here
4:26
parked as well good to see the rio
4:28
grande train
4:30

4:33
in the saloon they have a boysenberry
4:35
smoothie i might have to look into that
4:37
good old boot hill oh yeah just kind of
4:40
tucked away under under this coaster
4:42
even some tables stretching back all the
4:44
way over here by calico river rapids as
4:46
well
4:47
and tucked away back in there is a
4:49
relaxate relaxation zone called a relax
4:51
zone but it's a relaxation area
4:53
going to go ahead and walk in and
4:56
see what's going on back here with the
4:59
soothing sound
5:02
of a waterfall upon entry
5:06
it kind of adds to the ambiance right
5:09
says you may
5:10
remove in this area so that's nice
5:14
you can come back here get yourself a
5:16
little little space
5:18
at the moment i'm the only one back here
5:21
according to this you can get up to five
5:24
different treats or meals or beverages
5:27
or
5:28
items a through g on this side and then
5:32
continuing
5:33
h through q on the other so we got
5:36
a true q
5:40
and there is quite a bit on here from
5:43
pizza
5:44
to boysenberry wings to basil lemon i
5:48
might have to try a
5:49
basil lemonade that sounds pretty good
5:51
mac and cheese which i like
5:54
what else can i kind of dive oh gumbo i
5:57
do enjoy some gumbo
5:59
i think i might do two maybe three items
6:03
how did so i've seen these before in the
6:05
past where
6:08
you just they tear off them but this one
6:10
has a qr code on it
6:11
so that must alert them to how many that
6:14
you have
6:15
left on the on the card itself
6:19
yeah there really are tables everywhere
6:21
and anywhere out here it's good to see
6:23
thank you for continuing to wear your
6:24
face covering and being mindful of
6:26
social distance it is interesting not
6:28
seeing the horse coaster running there's
6:30
a horse that goes all across this rail
6:32
a lot of craft booths out here as well
6:34
all right i'm inside the saloon now see
6:36
if they have that basil lemonade in here
6:38

6:39
craving some basil lemonade they don't
6:41
have it in there it's across the way
6:43
here at this
6:44
booth which after reading the sign that
6:45
says cucumber eliminated but maybe i'll
6:47
try a cucumber lemonade instead at this
6:49
this booth you use this to scan your
6:51
card and that is the item right there
6:54
i'm getting the
6:54
cucumber lemonade is gluten-free as well
6:58
gentleman up here is doing a little
6:59

7:02
we're here at the picnic tables

7:07

7:09
the cucumber in it but
7:10
i like lemonade i like cucumber don't
7:12
know if i ever had the mixture of the
7:13
tube but it's not bad i like it
7:16

7:18
tasty
7:20

7:21
look at your two cucumber chunks down in
7:23
there
7:24

7:38
see that log flume with the water
7:40

7:41
good good news and it's right across
7:44
from more tables and my favorite

7:57
and speaking of exciting the berry tales
8:00
is coming back
8:02
it's gone through a def couple different
8:03
incarnations of things it has been but
8:06
berry tales is a throwback to the past
8:08
that they are bringing back
8:10
something that was decades old before my
8:12
time here looking forward to this new
8:14
version
8:15
and to reiterate for the hundredth time
8:16
there is plenty of seating area out here
8:19
you knew when i said sit thank you for
8:20
that that was very kind of you
8:22
ladies and gentlemen of applause for new
8:24
men take a bell handsome yes
8:26
you can all see the back the back of
8:28
chris's guard you can see the back
8:30
chris's kite's a little too easy there
8:32
it is
8:33
souvenir chris i wouldn't recommend it i
8:35
wouldn't recommend it chris that was
8:37
amazing you haven't done magic before
8:38
sir
8:39
i'm on the lookout for yet another drink
8:41
item excuse me fellas you know where i
8:43
can find the stand with the letter p
8:45
i'm looking for p stand number p or
8:47
letter p okay that answers that got to
8:49
go back over by berry tales to find to
8:51
find that one
8:52
what i'm looking for is a strawberry
8:54
swirl popping boba
8:56
sounds good i've arrived at the right
8:58
place right there
8:59
oh yeah doesn't it look really really
9:01
delicious i think it looks good
9:04
oh wow that has a very thick boysenberry
9:07
flavor to it i don't know calorie-wise
9:10
health-wise if this is better than
9:12
eating a snack or a meal
9:14
but i figure if you're drinking calories
9:16
i'm no
9:17
doctor but if you're drinking calories
9:19
maybe it's better than putting a heavy
9:21
item in the stomach
9:23
and this would have been i well this is
9:25
item number two off of my tasting
9:27
cartridge scan the qr code and i have
9:29
three left to go after this i'm probably
9:30
not getting the best deal getting only
9:32
drinks it was 25
9:34
for this event for five items so maybe i
9:36
should get some food just to even the
9:37
price out a little bit but
9:38
i don't know i'm trying to stick to my
9:40
there are quite a bit of those circular
9:41
items down there in the ice
9:43
i'm looking for the basil lemonade well
9:45
my word is so close it's gonna bite the
9:46
fuzz off your beard
9:48
it's right behind you over there all
9:50
right yeah he was right it is it's right
9:52
over here right around the corner so
9:54
close
9:54
he is so helpful up there just anyone
9:56
that has a question he's just willing to
9:58
willing to just lend a hand and you know
10:00
from a distance he's lending out lending
10:01
a hand and
10:02
letting everyone know the directions
10:03
around here in calico let's see how
10:05
lemonade is with a touch of
10:07
basil oh yeah
10:10
oh definitely oh that's a lot of basil i
10:14
like it though it might be a little too
10:15
strong for my
10:16
my my taste buds but i like it you
10:19
wouldn't think it by looking at it
10:20
because there's only just like that one
10:22
little leaf down in there but man that
10:24
really
10:24
that packs a punch i do need to get at
10:26
least one food item in my belly i've
10:28
decided on the gumbo with chicken and
10:30
rice and then i'm gonna polish it off
10:32
with another beverage the boysenberry
10:33
icy float so
10:35
four drinks and one food item total
10:37
which i know might not be the proper way
10:39
or maybe frowned upon to do things at a
10:41
food festival but you know you don't get
10:43
you don't get thinner by eating a lot
10:45
and i've worked up a little bit of an
10:46
appetite i'm kind of
10:47
a little hungry now and there it is
10:49
right there the gumbo with chicken
10:51
shrimp and boysenberry sausage
10:52
i don't think i'm gonna i'm gonna think
10:53
i'm gonna pack on too many pounds by the
10:56
you know it's just like a little sample
10:57
thing so i don't think i'm gonna put on
10:58
too much weight from
11:00
consuming this in this little small tray
11:03
here it shouldn't be too bad
11:05
just kind of enjoying the little sausage
11:07
there the chives on top and some of the
11:09
other
11:10
goodness that is kind of mixed in with
11:12
this entire thing
11:13
it is tasty and good to get a little
11:15
something inside
11:17
the belly a little it's like it's not
11:18
going to fill me up completely but
11:20
it's it's it's it's something as a you
11:23
know one-fifth of all the items at least
11:25
i got something that has a little
11:26
consistency to it
11:28
of sorts it's really good it almost has
11:30
like a sweet flavor to it
11:32
now i just got to find the icy and i'm
11:34
good to go the icy as a dessert a little
11:37
a little polishing off to the end the
11:39
crescendo
11:41
three drink items a food and now
11:44
a fourth drink item making it five total
11:46
and my tasting card
11:48
has come to an end and it just so
11:50
happens to be at this booth that i was
11:52
out earlier
11:53
when they gave me this they not only
11:55
gave me one straw but an extra straw
11:58
and i said well it's just me i don't
11:59
need an extra straw and they said well
12:01
this one's going to decompose because
12:04
it's made out of paper so
12:06
that's nice of them because plastic
12:07
straws last a little longer than paper
12:09
straws
12:10
so i'll have this in case i need another
12:11
one if this one starts to fall apart
12:14
but this is at the boysenberry icee it
12:16
also does come with ice cream but i
12:18
opted out of the ice cream at the bottom
12:20
it just went with the just a normal eye
12:23
shape
12:53
i just seriously throw the pressure
12:53
oh yes you know a little bit of a brain
12:56
freeze but
13:12
oh it's sitting in the brain freeze it's
13:12
setting in
13:17
this is nice i'm glad i did this the
13:17
last of the five
13:35
all in all a really good event and went
13:35
very well i noticed in the morning the
13:36
first couple hours it was a little less
13:39
busy i want to say busy because it was a
13:40
limited capacity but
13:42
there were fewer far fewer more people
13:44
less people
13:45
in the morning time there was as
13:47
afternoon started to kind of
13:49
come into fruition but all in all a good
13:52
time
13:53
i would come back most likely we'll come
13:55
back i do have tickets for the extended
13:57
this was the taste of calico i have a
14:00
tickets for the taste of knots
14:02
later on this month should be a good
14:03
time heading out now the starbucks is
14:06
open for business
14:07
as well i always like here in the gift
14:09
shop they have some stuff along the
14:10
walls that kind of show the history of
14:12
this establishment
14:13
oh man you got the right idea there
14:15
that's a good that's a good call very
14:17
stylish as well
14:18
this rooster has more or less become the
14:20
mascot
14:21
here on property you can just find it
14:23
all around the area
14:24
in the parking lot walking in front
14:26
through the
14:27
through the marketplace ended up
14:29
stopping at the shop on the way
14:31
at the exit and got some boysenberry
14:35
sugar-free punch mix it's concentrate so
14:37
you just put it with a little water
14:39
this will last a while i always like
14:41
having this occasionally i have a glass
14:44
every couple days
14:46
or so i enjoy it and they have special
14:49
souvenir bags now which i've never seen

14:52
blowing it around as well but it has the
