Mandolins, vino ... Naples is going Italiano!

September 19, 2011
From 4 to 7 p.m. Saturday, September 24, Naples is going Festiva Italiana!

Pizza, Italian soda, vino from Pend Oreille, checkered table cloths and mandolins ... Mama Mia!

You don't have to cross the sea to enjoy, just visit one of the best and hardest working small unincorporatred towns in North Idaho, lying quietly along U.S. 95, a place that is proud of what it is and its heritage.

The very first Naples Italian Festival, taking place on the beautiful lawn in downtowna Naples, Idahoa ... (notice if you add an "a" to the end of a word, it's Italian? Add an "eh," it's Canadian. I don't think they teach that in school) ... will bring to life the history of how Naples, Idaho, little town that it is, possesses the second oldest surviving business in North Idaho (the Naples Store), a school that's raised scholars, a community that is proud.

Great accompania, greata friendza ... (I'm German, but I'm doing the best I can!) bringa your familia and enjoya!

If you have time to pitch in and help, the folks at Naples won't mind if you aren't fluent ... appreciato! Mozzeralla cheeza! Green Bay Packers! (Sorry ... I threw that last in on my own and without any help).

They're going to be grateful you're there. Ifa you'da like a to meet a mia? Meeting a beautiful girla? Me taka pictura of a youa ... Forgeddabout id ... hava mucha respecta!

Unless you don'ta go ... then we feela sorry for you-a.

Thank goodness I speak a Italiana-a ... Napalese! If you don't believe it, justa aska me. Kapiche?
