Weird and Wacky Food Festivals
The three food festivals that I have chosen are Tunarama Festival, Cheese Rolling Festival and the Radish Festival.
 
The Tunarama Festival is when you have to throw a large piece of tuna.  The person who throws the tuna  the furthest wins a prize.  It is held in Port Lincoln, Australia on the 26th of January. The world’s record was 40 yards. It was set in 1998 by a worldchampion, Sean Carlin. Sean Carlin was the Olympic Hammer Thrower.  People have this festival so they can celebrate the sea.

The Cheese Rolling Festival is a tradition.  It has been around for at least 200 years.  The festival is held in England.  The Cheese Rolling Festival event is held on the Spring bank at Coopers, England.   A huge chunk of Gloucester cheese is rolled down to the bottom of a very high hill.  Then participants have to chase after it.  The first person at the finish line will win the Gloucester cheese.

The Radish Festival is held in Mexico each year on the 23rd of December at night.  Spanish brought radishes to Mexico in 16th century.  That is how Mexico got the idea.  The Radish Festival is about people carving sculptures out radishes.  Sculptures are linked to  Christian stuff.  This is a festival because Mexico is encouraging people to eat their vegetables and fruits.  The festival is celebrated for hundreds of years.  The festival doesn't last long because the radishes won't last long.

I would really like to have the Tunarama Festival in Glen Innes.   But instead we can throw large pumpkins.  I really want to have the Tunarama Festival in Glen Innes so I could beat Sean Carlin’s world record.  Possibly I know Jelsma would win the prize.
