Some Impressive Numbers

     I've just returned from the Gilroy Garlic Festival.  And at their 37th "Ultimate Summer Food Fair" they have posted some impressive numbers.  During the 3 day event they served 10 tons of beef, 4 tons of pasta, 4 tons of calamari, 2 tons of shrimp scampi and accompanied it all with 2 tons of fresh garlic.

  But I found the most impressive number to be the total of volunteers working together to make it all happen.  There were 4,100 people pitching in to make the festival a success.  And here's another number that caught my eye...Since the inception of the festival back in 1979 over $10.6 million dollars have been raised and has all been donated to charity.
