That's the theme of this weekend's Tracy Dry Bean Festival downtown, but everybody's quite mellow.

I bet they had fun on those Segways. I know they only take a little time to get used to. I tried one out at an Expo in San Francisco. Will they be there next year? How about letting fair-goers have a try at riding a Segway - next year?

Thanks!
