MONTICELLO, NY (August 22, 2013) – With thousands of people lining the streets and plenty of vendors hawking everything from food to jewelry and from handmade scarves to handmade soap, the 1st Annual Bagel Fest on Broadway  in Monticello seemed to go off without a hitch.

Created and produced by Jeff Siegel (wearing the apron in photo at left), owner of the Spencer Daniels Agency, the Bagel Fest started on Friday, August 16 with a by-invitation party where comedians “roasted” (or was that toasted) the bagel.

The festivities continued on Saturday, August 17 with a giant party on Broadway in Monticello, which included a giant peace-sign bagel and an attempt  to create the longest-ever bagel chain with more than 80 people. The attempt will be submitted to the Guinness Book of World Records for verification.

Here’s an album of photos from the party:
