The U.S. Government sponsored the  BANANA FESTIVAL or "Festival of Friendship" for many years in Fulton, Kentucky.  The city went bananas with a parade featuring a 2,000 lb banana pudding.  In the above photo, Ken and the Lt. Governor of Kentucky served everyone a cup of delicious banana pudding.  They had a Banana Bowl football game and all the retailers in Fulton KY, and South Fulton, TN tied in offering specials with this week long celebration.  No more U.S. government sponsorship.  How unfortunate!
