In 2004, OkraFest took place in August rather than September because Lisa and Mick were traveling to Italy in September. Consequently, the okra crop wasn't quite ready. So we had to scour grocery store produce shelves to buy up what fresh okra they had - and it was not up to OkraFest standards. 2003 Queen Fran Coker appropriately dubbed it "faux-kra."
