Now, as you may already have realised, I have posted a post with this same title previously. This is because the festival is coming up again! Feb. 28th! Are we excited? Yes? No? Maybe? Comment!
Now, these past few years I've had a LOT of emails saying things like, "How can it be the festival now? It's February! The last one was only five months ago!" so I'm going to go ahead and explain how this is so right now!
This is how the Crunchy Nut festival works: it must occur around every five months, but not necessarily exactly five months. See, it must occur at any random date during the fifth month from the one in which the previous festival took place. So, if you had one in, say, November, the next one would be at some point during the fifth month from November, which is April. The exact day in April is determined by whomever happens to be Canadian Fruit Chief at the time, which, currently, is Derek. The next one will occur in September (five months from April) and the next in February (five months from September), which is where we are now. Derek chose the 28th because he wanted to have it on the 29th, but as it is not a leap year the 28th was the next best thing. Do you see? So will you uneducated (cereal festival-wise) people stop emailing me and calling me inaccurate now? Or will you continue to insist that I'm getting the basics of the whole thing wrong? I hope not.
