Labor Day is almost upon us! Can you believe it, how time flies! So, you know what Labor Day means....County Fair time!!! Woohoo! Although I haven't been to the Knoxville Fair yet, I do have some experience in some quaint country fairs....aka: White County Fair (no offense to the White Countians among us...but you know the Fair there is the true epitome of a county fair). I'm talking tractor pulls, mule racing, at least one big brawl in the stands during the week, homemade ice cream, the social shindig of the year...oh yeah, the county fair! So, here it is, the top five reasons we love the fair...
1. It's a chance to run into people you rarely see and hope that they have gained more weight than you have (kidding...I kid! but you know you think that:) )
2. You get to ride the Himalaya!!
3. Where else can you get fried everything...fried oreos and twinkies, what will they think of next
4. You can walk through the 4-H booths and see all the homemade stuff (yes, this is my country side coming out. Fact #97 about me...I have placed first in the 4-H building for my homemade brownies...oh yeah, bet you didn't see that one coming! hehe!)
5. What else better is there to do on a wonderful summer night in Tennessee than enjoy the local festivities!
what do you love about the fair??
