Food Truck Festival Street Scene

Today, another #DGSO scene of the August Food Truck Festival, held this past Sunday. Yesterday, we featured founder/organizer Shari Kumiega. Today, we show the Market Street side of the festival, as it was winding down, but when the sky was such a spectacular shade of blue. The yellow truck on the right served soft-serve ice cream. The red truck was 454 Grill, based out of Raleigh. Formerly a SnapOn tool truck, the 454 Grill serves up great food and gets high ratings.

To the left, out of sight, is a row of event tables where people of all walks of life gathered. If you are following the findings about the surprising benefits of talking to strangers (BBC article here), you can imagine how easy it was to strike up conversations with people during this event. People struck up conversations with others waiting in the same line, with others sitting at the same table, and with those who had the same breed of dog. Super popular at Sunday's festival was the Japanese hunting dog, the shiba inu. The next downtown event that will bring together food trucks and people from all walks of life is the North Carolina Folk Festival, September 6-8.

Those clouds are pretty impressive Janis, lucky it didn't rain! Talking to strangers in the right environment is an excellent idea ✨
