It is a day when families gather together and friends catch up with each other. It is a family-oriented festival and Irondale vacations are usually family vacations. In 2008, the festival is slotted on the 27th of September and it is going to be a day that is full of entertainment for children and adults. There will numerous kinds of fun rides, such as pony rides, train rides, and gyro rides. There will be several team games, such as basketball, the community’s favorite. And there will be over 200 booths that display a variety of items ranging from toys to handmade items. Throughout this whole day of festivities, there will be lively background music, such as country, jazz, and rock and roll. The best part, at least in the opinion of most folks who have been in Irondale, is the food. Some will enjoy the simple hot dogs and funnel cakes. Others will prefer the onion blossom with a Philly steak. And still others will want the finest home cooking that the town can offer, the food served at the Irondale Café. The café, which was originally owned by Ms. Flagg’s (author of Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café) Aunt Bess, was bought by the McMichael family in 1972. Since then, it expanded and gained reputation in serving the most mouth-watering food products.
