Blogging to the Fair

Folks are blogging about the Fair.

Straight from the Horse's Mouth won't be making the drive from Austin to Philadelphia this year, but she writes about the Fair, her cabin, and a great list of suggestions of things to do at her blog: Red Clay Hills Are Calling My Name

The 'Ssippi Scoop says, "it's termed 'Mississippi's Biggest House Party' when in fact it should be called 'Mississippi's Biggest Porch Party'." A Bama girl who married into a cabin on Sunset Strip, she describes the Fair well:

So picture this, acres and acres of campers and cabins piled in on top of each other, with each person's porch on the front and back of their cabin touching the next person's porches. A huge horse race track with cabins circling it. A big midway with carnival rides and fair food booths. A big concert stage set up at the arena. Horse stables and barns. All of this in one HUGE location where the ENTIRE county moves from their houses for one whole week in July out to what they call the fair grounds. I've never seen anything like this in my life, nor do I expect you to unless you live here or visit me during the fair.

And then here are a few pics from cebell: When We Left God's Country
