The place: Huntley, Illinois
The date: November 26 11:00AM - ? (Ok, so we missed out this year)
Huntley's (26th Annual) Turkey Testicle Festival is Parkside Pub's biggest party of the year!
It's a great night as you don't have to bring a dish to pass or talk to relatives. If you have never tried a turkey testicle, this is your chance! No need to worry about the weather, the festival is held under one huge heated tent, with plenty of Purple Potties available. The bar is open but the number of people allowed inside at any one time is limited, as it can become pretty packed. There will also be hats, shirts and sweatshirts for sale to remember the night.
"SO GRAB A FRIEND THAT'S NEVER BEEN, ENJOY A COLD BREW, GREAT MUSIC, AND HOT NUTS!"
-from the Huntley Blog
And apparently, this isn't the only one! There's another one in Byron, Illinois (boy do we love our turkey testicles!) and one in Ft. Myers, Florida. The Byron festival is held in October when the turkeys are castrated to plump them for the Thanksgiving holiday. Ft. Myers just had theirs on November 22 at The Surf Club.
Mmmmmmm Mmmmmm....

ReplyDeleteFirst I read in Wifey's Hubby's blog about gay porn...and now turkey testicles... Maybe this is a sign I need to wander out of the Blogosphere for the day...
*shakes head laffin*
Happy Thanksgiving! And, just so you know... your next door neighbors in Missouri also have Testicle Festivals. Bull, pig and turkey are all at risk here lol.
