Every fall in PA every little burg &amp; village has a Fall Foliage Festival &amp; every festival has a Food Court  which is the equivalent of your Great Arizona Picnic.  The food probably isn't quite as gourmet, in fact, it's anything but gourmet.  But, it is good &amp; it is an excuse to pig out.  And if you look closely you might even find a pair of equally impractical shoes on a set of jeans-clad gams.  Why do some women insist  on such silliness, or rather, foolishness?
