Jimmy Fest 2009

My cousin Jimmy owns Third Knight Farm between Monmouth and Corvallis. For the past 2 years he has put together "Jimmy Fest" where he events friends and family for a pig roasting and beer party. The first time I heard of it wasn't from my family but a friend whose husband works with my cousin. For the past year I kept bringing up Jimmy Fest around Jimmy so he wouldn't forget to add me to the list. Well it worked I was finally invited to the 3rd annual Jimmy Fest. Corey and I showed up towards the end of family time but that was okay we were looking forward to the after hours craziness. What we saw was a whole bunch of farmers having a good time. Besides the roasted pig there was 2-4 kegs and a huge bonfire. I got to here my cousin and friend "Tiny" (who isn't tiny) sing Karaoke together on a flat bed truck. I watched Corey play four rounds of beer pong and finally lose to sisters. I too played beer pong with a guy who told me I was cool since I was 28 years old and knew how to text message. That really made me laugh but I guess when I was 21 years old I probably thought 28 was old. Another funny thing was one older gentlemen said he was Jimmy's dad and I said no your not because Jimmy's dad is my uncle. One of Jimmy's friends even tried to hook me up with Jimmy. Jimmy and I both laughed and said "We are cousins, GROSS!!!!" I also got myself my very own bottle of Red Neck wine that my other cousin Jeff makes.  Corey and I both had a good time and I am looking forward to next years Jimmy Fest.

Oh, wow. I told Jimmy we'd make an appearance if he bought us a ticket...but he's kind of a cheapskate. I'm glad you had fun and didn't post too many incriminating photos (of Jimmy, that is). :)
