Excitement is building for the 2012 South Cariboo Garlic Festival at the Felker Homestead at 118 Mile 9 (north of Lac la Hache).
It takes place Aug. 25-26 with scores of vendor booths, top-notch entertainment and all the garlic you can eat.
This local celebration of the "stinkin' rose" began in 2000 with a modest gathering, but it gained instant appeal, and this year, festival director Jeanette McCrea is expecting to see 3,000 visitors come through the gate.
