We arrived in Riverside just in time for the costume contest.
I know I joked earlier about going as R2D2, but this guy clearly didn't get the joke. He came in second.
After the costume contest, pretty much everything Star Trek related was finished and Trek Fest turned into a normal small town fair. We got to watch a state fair qualifying talent show where a bunch of tiny girls in skimpy outfits, teased hair, and piles of makeup danced to raps about the big bad wolf.
There was a tractor pull, but not the giant souped up kind. It was more of a lawnmower pull.
There was also a greased pig contest, where little kids chase a greased up pig and have to put it in a bucket. It seemed fairly cruel and made us uncomfortable so we decided to leave...but not before getting my picture taken with a wooden james T. Kirk in front of the USS Riverside.
We also had to stop and see Kirk's future birthplace, which apparently is a yard in back of an abandoned barber shop.
