Notes from Nubi - Did You Know There's A Mint Festival in the United Kingdom?

I found out the most amazing thing!

When Mom was checking out how many hits the Library’s website and blog had for Mint Festival information - statistics really make her happy - she noticed that we were getting several from Europe.  Now why, she wondered, would people in the United Kingdom be interested in a Mint Festival being held in North Judson, Indiana?

Well, they aren’t!  I mean don’t get me wrong, I like our Mint Festival and have a great time at it, but I wouldn’t travel 3,828 miles over the Atlantic Ocean to get here!  Turns out that in September there is a Mint Festival in Leeds, United Kingdom - which makes much more sense if you live in Europe and are searching for Mint Festival information.

Compared to our Mint Festival, which originated after the Bicentennial in 1776, the Leeds Mint Festival, originated in 2012, is just a toddler.  “The folks behind Mint Club, Mint Warehouse & Cocoon In the Park in Leeds launched the 10,000 capacity festival in 2012.­ Mint Festival takes place at Lotherton Hall, in Leeds and hosts DJs from underground techno and deep house to Drum & Bass, Dubstep, House and Trance.”

So if you will be in the UK in September, check out their website (UK Mint Festival) and make your plans accordingly.  Hope they have as much fun there as we did here.
