Mustard Festival in Mt. Horeb, WI

Belle and Liv took a trip to celebrate National Mustard Day in Mt. Horeb, Wisconsin. Here they are with the Duchess of Mustard in all her golden finery. There they found out that mustard is the condiment of kings and the King of Condiments.

National Mustard Day has wacky fun for every taste. There was accordian music and a rock band, plus games like Fishing for Mustard and Mustard Bowling. Artists could try their hand at painting with mustard.

Three thousand hot dogs were sold (with mustard of course) for the benefit of charity. And the Spatulatta girls learned how to make mustard pasta from Chef Peter Robertson. No, the mustard wasn't on the pasta, the mustard was in the pasta dough.

The Festival is put on every year by the World Famous Mustard Museum. The museum has the world's largest collection of mustards - 4,800 in all. You can sample many of them in the museum's gift shop: Cranberry Mustard, Champagne Mustard and even Chocolate Mustard.

And if you can't make it to the Mustard Museum, the museum will ship to you. Because friends don't let friends eat k*#@*%!
