So we decided since we actually have a Riverside address, we had better check out the infamous Trek Fest that has given Riverside so much publicity. Riverside, Iowa has been named the future birth place of Captain James T. Kirk of the U.S.S. Starship Enterprise. If you are really interested in knowing the whole story behind this go to http://www.trekfest.com/history.php . Basically, the festival tries to balance a small town fair that James T. Kirk may experience with a Science Fiction theme. When you visit you will see small town staples like a demolition derby, truck and tractor pull, rides, live music, as well as a sci-fi vendor area, costume contest, and Star Trek themed events. You might say that this is a small town fair with a Sci-Fi flair.
Our visit to Trek Fest was filled with a lawn mower tractor pull, greased pig contest, fried foods, a few space ships, and a glance at a few trekkies :)
