Court Days is definitely something to see. 1000 people trading guns is why i like it. Plus lots more.

Trail of Tears Pow Wow was last weekend here (Hopkinsville KY), but I don't know that I even heard any promos or commercials about it... but I almost never listen to the Hoptown radio station anymore.

Trigg Co. Country Ham Festival, right 'next door', in Cadiz, is coming up in about a month.

I’m less than 20 miles from there and haven’t been. Have been to the one at Preston a few times. I appreciate it quite a bit, there are more people trading and carrying around guns and critters than most people will ever see.

They had the Pioneer festival here last weekend, and big storm came up and blew away a lot of the vendors tents and items, the heavy rain probably damaged a lot of the merchandise.

Our county has long held a "Tobacco Festival", which became the Rural Heritage/Tobacco Festival with the demise of tobacco growing.
In reality it is more like a carnival than a celebration of rural values. I avoid it like the plague as it makes driving through town nearly impossible.

I've been to the Trail of Tears Pow wow before. I didn't hear nothing about it this year either but I believe its always the first weekend in September.
I've heard about the ham festival but haven't been.
Mccracken County has the BBQ on the river coming up.
Fulton has Banana Festival.
A few years back we took the kids to California San Diego zoo. I wanted to come back and have a "hug a red neck day festival" California is a beautiful place but I'm not for all the traffic and people.

In at Baker they have the Miner's Jubilee in July. The one and only time I went they had the big park in town covered with vendors selling cheap junk. I saw nothing about the gold miners. Maybe they are celebrating those who got rich selling cheap junk to the miners for high prices.

Metropolis, Illinois has Fort Massac Encampment.... I was all excited until I realized it wasn't real Native Americans and China junk they were selling.

Sounds like our Rabbit Festival. Nary a rabbit, no pictures of rabbits, no talk about rabbits. Mid May each year and it's already hot as hades, long lines and parking far off. Cheap Chinese junk, high priced nasty food truck snacks, and carnival rids. There is a little music, (very little,) by local groups but it's mostly just taped music.

Now, the Ho Festival over in Lampasas is much better. Officially it's Spring Ho, but everyone just calls it the Ho festival.
Spring Ho, Lampasas Tx
