LARSON HAS THE STORY. FOOD TRUCKS LINE ONE END OF RALSTON’S LIBERTY FIRST CREDIT UNION ARENA SATURDAY MORNING BEFORE THE CROWDS SHOW UP. VENDORS WORK IN THE HEAT TO SET UP THEIR TABLES AND TRUCKS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE LOT. STEVE LINDSAY, A 20 YEAR VET OF TASTE OF OMAHA, IS COOKING UP SOMETHING NEW. WHY NOT MAKE A STRAWBERRY LEMONADE FUNNEL CAKE SO THAT’S WHAT HE DID. IT TURNED OUT INCREDIBLE AND PEOPLE LOVED IT. LINDSEY HAS SEEN TASTE OF OMAHA CHANGE LOCATIONS A FEW TIMES NOW. HE LOVES THE TEMPORARY LOCATION IN RALSTON. THE EVENT IS EXPECTED TO GO TO THE RIVERFRONT DOWNTOWN NEXT YEAR. BUT FOR NOW, STEVE’S TENT IS THRIVING. I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT LOOKING AT OUR SALES LAST NIGHT, IT’S BEEN MY BEST FRIDAY EVER. IN 20 YEARS. A FEW TENTS OVER THE CREW OF BIG MAMA’S IS COOKING UP SOMETHING NICE AND HOPING THEY CAN STAY COOKING. I HOPE ALL MY FRYERS STAY ON. NATALIA HARRISON HAS BEEN INVOLVED WITH NINE TASTE OF OMAHA FESTIVALS WHILE THEY WERE SETTING UP SATURDAY. SHE TO REFLECTED ON A SOLID DAY. ONE YESTERDAY LOOKED AMAZING. WE HAD A GREAT CROWD EVEN THOUGH IT RAINED EVEN THOUGH IT STOPPED AND RAINED AGAIN. SO IT WAS LOVELY. WHILE LINDSAY WORKS THE FRYERS AND PREPARES HIS NEW TREAT FOR A HOT, BUSY 12 HOUR SATURDAY, HE’S EXPECTING A BIGGER CROWD BASED OFF WHAT FRIDAY DELIVERED. AND THE GREAT THING WAS, WAS THAT THERE WERE SO MANY PEOPLE HERE LAS
