Edit
A couple of weeks ago we ventured down to Uniontown, WA for the 57th annual Sausage Feed. I had never heard of this event before and we were not quite sure what to expect. Josh, Fay and Lyla and I all piled in the car and took the 2 hour car ride to the Palouse.
The "feed" was quite the event, taking place in the community hall. It included a beer garden and vendors selling lots of random items, like this find...
Thank goodness, because we waited in line for 2 hours before we got to the sausage eating part (and had consumed about $50 worth of beer). We met lots of random interesting people in line too and with the Mills' being the Chatty Cathy's they are, it was quite entertaining. People from small towns are so nice and friendly! However, we did meet an older couple from Spokane so looks like we weren't the only ones who drove 2 hours to eat sausage.
We learned that there are a few locals who get together the Wed-Fri before the Sausage Feed and make sausage for three days straight. Every year they make a new recipe so it's always a surprise what you are going to get. About 1500 people come out for this event every year! I didn't think that many people even lived in that community!
The sausage is served with mashed potatoes, green beans, rolls, and a few accompaniments like applesauce and sauerkraut. They don't hold back. Did I mention it's all you can eat!? Little helpers walk around refilling your beverage, loading you up on more sausage and bring you pie. It was quite the experience and I highly recommend you try it next year. Here's my feast:
