Small Town Livin

The most exciting time for any small town is the weekend of the fair. Every town has one... and along with it every town also has... a) a craft show... b) a bull-riding machine that costs $5 to ride... c) a softball tournament... d) a tractor pull... e) catfish wrestling... f) a band that is local enough to feel local yet out of county enough to seem famous... g) some distant relative in the crowd that hasn't "seen you since you were this tall"... "what, your married!"... "where y'all livin' now"... "out of town, really!? Girl you crazy gallavantin' all over the world like that"... "I was expectin' you'd say somethin' like Sumter or Greeleyville"... "I wish I could say somethin' like that"... "Y'all stop over and see us sometime y'here!"
