Friday we went to breakfast at Off the Waffle, went to the festival, ate on site, did the meet and greet, and then ate dinner at The Pizza Research Institute!
Saturyday, we had more waffles, then went to the Eugene Saturday Market! We had so much fun, we didn't even get to BSG that day!  We did however, eat at an amazing gluten free deli called New Dawn Bakery!  Then dinner at Marche, which was amazing once again!
