I started Wallyhood back in 2008, right when my son was born, because I realized I had lived in the neighborhood since 1993 and didn't really know my neighbors. I figured writing a blog about what was going on around me would be a good way to meet people and help other people do the same. As the years progressed, those neighbors have picked up the torch and it is now a group effort, which I adore. I moved out of Wallingford for a few years (2020 - 2025), but I'm back, now living with my wife, son and dog (Dillinger) up in Tangletown.

    Was I wrong to expect bratwurst at the festival last year? We were pretty bummed by the food selection but other event features were fun.

      Renee,

      There is a TON of Bratwurst, last year as well. In fact, there is an entire Food Booth devoted to serving you as many brats as you want 🙂

    One of my favorite things to do on Friday night at the Wurst, is to enjoy a Bratwurst Dinner with all the sides, in the outdoor beer garden. The sun is going down, a live band is always playing on the stage and the kids are running around; feeling wild and free, but actually very safe and protected. This event is so “small town” and one of the best things to do when you are saying goodbye to Summer and hello to Fall.

    I have attended this for years. I am curious now what the funds raised are for?

    On Saturday, there is a UW home game. Heads up, for the traffic increases a lot around here, for people park in our area to go to the game.

    Maybe they could add some to the teachers’ salaries?? Check with some other Catholic diocese. Some pay as high as 92% of the state teacher payscale.

    The used book sale room is worth visiting. The food is usually very tasty at the outdoor booths and in the dining room.
