Sorry!

If you don't want to bring pop to the Three Rivers Festival, take advantage of places that offer cheap refills if you buy a plastic souvenir cup. Miss Piggy's Pork Shop is offering such a deal. A $4 cup (looks like it's maybe 24 ounces or so) will get you $1 refills the remainder of the festival. Their pulled pork dinner is pretty good too. For $11, it's probably one of the better, more balanced offerings at the festival. You get a pulled pork sandwich, corn on the cob, and new red potatoes slathered in butter.

Three Rivers Festival

If you live in Fort Wayne, the Three Rivers Festival is going on. It's the place to see and be seen. It's people watching Mecca.

But it can get a bit pricey. One way to save money is to buy your pop somewhere else, and bring it to the festival so you don't pay $4.00 for 32 ounces of pop. Some places have deals where if you buy a large cup, you can get refills for next to nothing the rest of the week. If you plan to go multiple nights, it's not a bad deal. But if you are just going once with your family, bring your own soda. That way, you'll have more room for the deep fried Twinkies for dessert.
