Subject: Blendings in Festival Names

Here in Central Texas it is the time of festivals. These festivals recently
have been given catchy names. In September, here in San Marcos, we have a
Chilympiad. In Flatonia, a little town between here and Houston off I-10,
this weekend there will be a Czhilispiel. This town was settled by Czechs
and Germans. In nearby Shiner, home of the Spoetzl brewery and its Shiner
Boc, last weekend there was a Boctober Fest. Are others of you hearing of
such blendings in names of such events or is this just a local
"infectuation"?
Thanks,
Dick Heaberlin
