refering to scerri j.'s comments -lack of parking facilities - gharghur is was it is a small village which never expected such crowds, i talked with organizers regards this and a park and ride was planned but they had lack of permits.
milk products in heat - as you might have seen there were a lot of refridgerated trucks behind food stalls, presenting a healthy good product was a must, thats why most of stands ran out of stock. They sold only stock fridge trucks can hold.

qubbajd stand - they had a lot of baci style chocolates which were made using milk in receipe, torroncini were also covered with milk chocolate, my wife bought some and were delicious.

The event was not perfect but some small adjustments will bring it. Another thing is that no one expected such a crowd.

I was really astonished as i've seen small children who saw a real cow for the first time in their lives. and some other who taught that milk comes from a factory not from a cow.

finally WELL DONE to the organizers , we need more festivals like this, after all it was educational and FREE ENTRANCE

Both Ice Cream and milkshakes (including strawberry) were available, as my children had both. We thoroughly enjoyed the day, the farm visits and the farm animals on display being an excellent idea. The food was quite good and prices reasonable. Activities such as this make family outtings so much more enjoyable for both parents and children, and should be encouraged. Tax money well spent, for once!

Just re read the poster and it says, Ikel, xorb u helu ippreparat frisk fuq il-post. Bejgh ta prodotti friski tal-halib bejgh ta' prodotti agrikoli malti Wirja tal-bhejjem tal-halib Zjara go razzett tal-baqar tal-halib Varjeta ghall-familja kollha. It never mentions strawberry milk & Ice cream. http://www.gharghur.gov.mt/kportal/portal.asp?module=news&ID=9754
