The large statue of Popeye in downtown
Crystal City

For 32 years, Crystal City, Texas, the self-proclaimed "Spinach Capital of the World" has held their annual Spinach Festival on the 2nd weekend in November. Lil Dude Troll hasn't made it to the festival yet, but he visited the town to see the statue of Popeye, one of his hero's, and now he is looking forward to coming back for the festival. No doubt fun will be had by all!

Yes, Lil Dude is in this picture.
Here's a hint - Popeye's feet.

Lil Dude dropped in on the good folks at the
Festival Assoc.

The very nice and friendly Elsa of the Festival Association.
They have all kinds of cool spinach-themed goodies.
Lil Dude especially liked the spinach can piggy bank!
