Fun in a Nutshell
By Linda Tancs
Why would some 200,000 people from as far north as Canada gather in Suffolk, Virginia over a peanut? Well, maybe it’s the all-you-can-eat steamed shrimp on 6 October kicking off the four-day Suffolk Peanut Festival. Or maybe it’s the Friday night demolition derby. There’s a fireworks extravaganza on Saturday night, and the roar of motorcycles on Sunday at the rally. You see, it’s not all about peanuts although they’re obviously nutty about the little legume.
