OPA!


Norfolk's Greek Festival began yesterday. Will you attend? This is probably the largest, best attended and oldest ethnic festival in southeast Virginia. I go every year and it seems to get better each year! Maybe it is because I am a customer of one of the sponsor's.
It was not that long ago that the movie "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" and "Mama Mia" were major hits. Did you see them? Watch the short video with me.
Tell us what you think. Do you like Greek food, dancing and the customs? Think you might attend?

I did not see either of these aforementioned movies. I am about 1/5 Greek and my last name is derived from Greek. I do like Greek food and customs and I would most likely attend the festival.

I would love to attend but I'm not going to be here this weekend, I'll be at Nags Head. I've never really had greek food or experienced the culture so I don't know how it is. But, I'll be looking forward to it for next year.

I won't be going to the Festival this weekend. I'll be with my girlfriend all weekend. I saw My Big Fat Greek Wedding a long time ago. I don't remember that much about it. The video with John Stamos was wierd, but the first one was good.

I have not seen either movies, but the one we saw looked pretty good. Between the two songs, i defiantely liked "Forever" way better. I love that song! I will not be attending the Greek festival, I have plans.

I didn't even know this event went on in Norfolk but it sounds fun. I would like to go for a first time and try the food and other stuff there. Have fun there Mr. Downing.

I unfortunately will be unable to attend the festival this year, though I would love to go. This weekend I am busy with Band stuff. Really I find anything foreign pretty cool, including the Greeks. I don't think I've had any Greek food, but I sure would love to try some.

I have heard about the Greek festival from a teacher. It sounds like a lot of fun but I can't go because I had doubles district final. My partner and I lost but it was a good match. If I were to go it would have cheered me up some. I wouldn't mine trying the Greek food.
