Quite a few people walked around Fest on Saturday red-faced from the heat – but fudge from Chocolate Moonshine Co. withstood the high temperatures. Ray Saudargas of , who worked the booth Saturday, said “Mango Habanero” was the popular flavor that day.
All Chocolate Moonshine Co. fudge stays firm up to 110 degrees, he added. “It handles the heat better than humans.
” Plainfield Fest took place Friday through Sunday and included a carnival, live music, kids activities, craft show, business vendors, and food and other refreshments. Paige DePaola of said the main attractions for her two children were the petting zoo and the carnival. “She was excited to ride a roller coaster,” De Paola said of her daughter Jessie, age 2.
Tracie Brown of Chicago said she came out “just to eat and enjoy the fest,” and really wanted to try the ribs. Shannon Lesinski of Wood Dale, owner of Rockin’ Crystals LLC, participating in Plainfield Fest for the first time, said she was happy about the steady interest at her booth and was surprised so many people came out in the heat. “Crystals have become a bigger thing,” Lesinksi said.
“People want to learn more about their healing properties.” Lesinski said she uses crystals to teach compassion to children. She held up an ordinary looking rock and turned it over to show the glittering stones on its underside.
“Beauty is not on the outside,” Lesinski said. “A person’s beauty is inside them.” Gearge Eggart of GreenGrids so.
