An estimated 70,000 visitors descended upon Mount Horeb for National Mustard Day on August 2. That is the estimate of Rockford Magoo, our deranged cat. Closer to reality is somewhere between 3,000 and 4,000. But the crowd was so enthusiastic about the music, the games, the 3,000 free hot dogs (all gone by 3:00), and the mustard that it sure seemed like 70,000.
