Fair Reports

The Meridian Star reports of catfish royalty and Hard Rock cabins: Fair Fun at Giant House Party.
Bought in 1992 as a solid gray lodge, the cabin of Perry and Lea Ann Mitchell was re-painted five or six years ago in vibrant red and blue with an original theme of "Hard Rock" cabin.

"Whenever we go on vacation, we go to a Hard Rock cafe — so we thought this would be a neat idea," explained Lea Ann Mitchell.

Recognizing that the Neshoba County Fair is an annual vacation for sweet-tea drinkers and potato-salad lovers, the Mitchells appreciate the humble distinctiveness of the Mississippi fair by painting "but for friends all would be loneliness" on the Hard Rock cabin.

And this proves to be true. As sisters pull the wagons of baby brothers from cabin to cabin and popped Coca Cola cans announce the start of a new card game, the Neshoba County Fair bleeds a culture of appreciation and relaxation.
Sid Salter writes about the political speeches this year: Neshoba County Fair puts limits on '09 political speakers.
After the meat-and-potatoes-with-dessert-after political speaking fare of the 2007 statewide general election and the 2008 federal elections, fans of the Neshoba County Fair's unique brand of bare-knuckle, open air political oratory will feel like they've been put on Slim-Fast this year.
