Wilson County Fair

The fair festivities in Nashville are a little different. We thought the big state fair was the Tennessee State Fair. Wrong. The big fairs are the county fairs and the big county fair is Wilson County Fair. We found this out yesterday from a guy in our small group. I resourced quickly to the web and the last night for the fair is tonight. We changed our plans and went.

How would one describe the Wilson County Fair. Hmmmmm? Dirty, dusty, boot stompin' fun! There was a fresh lemonade stand every other booth, sweet tea, corn dogs, grilled BBQ Bologna, and popsicles for $1.00. Tonight the featured event was for demolition derby. And Yes, we did stop and watch a heat. It was awesome!

We did however miss Sweet Martha's Chocolate Chip Cookies, Roasted Corn, and cheese curds. None of these traditional foods were sold at the Wilson Country Fair. If anyone would like to send us a care package with these items that was be incredible.

A story behind the hill billy fiddle band pictured below. You will see that there is one strange fella smirking at the camera. He saw that I was getting ready to take a picture and he looked over and gave me this creepy smile. Mind you-- he wasn't smiling before I took the picture. Eww!

Okay enough waiting. Here are the pictures.
