Every last weekend in September in Saugerties, N.Y. the crazy Kiwanis Club there holds a garlic festival. At this garlic festival is every imaginable form of garlic creation there is (including just garlic). You can buy garlic infused olive oil, garlic dips, garlic mustard and garlic cheese. If this was all there was, you might shrug and say, so, sounds like a garlic festival. Why should we care. But no. There's more. 
You also have your choice of the little-known sweet side of garlic, which includes: garlic cannoli, garlic fudge, chocolate dipped garlic cloves and the ever popular, garlic ice cream. And to wash it all down, there's garlic coffee.
People are crazy for the garlic fest. Thousands of people attend the two-day event. The entry fee is $7 or $5 in advance and pretty much all there is to do is shop and eat garlic-laced stuff. Though there is some live music, no one ever seems to be paying any attention to the music.
