The midsummer Glier's Goettafest began as a one day party in 2001 and has since expanded to eight days of goetta, beer, music and T-shirts emblazoned with slogans like "Goetta Grip" or "Goetta Life." Goetta is sold in mac and cheese, omelets, nachos and fried rice. Sliced goetta is fried for sliders, kabobs and glazed doughnuts. Quesadillas, tacos and calzones are filled with the festival's namesake product.
"When people make this at home, and some still do," Glier says, "it's usually part of a meal at grandma's for Christmas."
This year, Glier's Goettafest runs for two weekend: July 28-31 and August 4-7 at Newport, Kentucky's Festival Park, right across the Ohio River from Cincinnati.
There will be entertainment all eight days, including one band I found to have quite the interesting name: Right Turn Clyde.
