The County Fair

I think it's just wonderful that the "hillbilly people" are tolerated at the fair! After all, it's "that type", and the farm people, who originated these fairs, not the uptown hob-nobbers dressed to the 9's, and wearing their $200 shoes.

That is why we started a 4-H club in town so the town & country kids could get together. The pet show & dog show really work well in that area to bring people together. The way the farm folks dress may not look sanitary but you have to realize they have chores to do at the fair. People have to realize their food just does not come from a grocery store it comes from the farmer. If it wasn't for the farmer you would have to raise your own food or starve.

I should also mention the up town hob nobers do buy the livestock at an auction & the farm kids go home with $$$$ in their pockets to bank & when they graduate from high school their is a nest egg their for college. The farm animals are purchased way over market price too. It has gotten better over the years believe me.

I do believe that you missed the whole point of my post #22.

Did you miss these little guys?

Pomtzu, I am not sure? This mean

sarcastic? I was just putting in what I truthfully know about county fairs & the towns folk. Been there & did it.

I didn't look at Marigolds comment as an insult as you did Pomtzu. I took advantage of it to educate people. You can take a negative & turn it into a postive that is what I have learned to do in life. I learned that in 4-H.

As far as people not wanting to attend the fair because of the smell, dust, dirt, filth so be it. It is a free country they can do what they want to.

It was in no way anything against the farmers and "hillbillies" - quite the contrary. Fairs were their game, long before the "others" joined in. I just felt it was a snub of sorts by the OP, since the OP never misses an opportunity to show her self-imagined superiority. I was trying to be somewhat subtle about it, but guess it didn't work that way. But I won't delete my post - that's NOT my style, as is with others.
Besides - I'm on "ignore" with the OP.
