A Small Town County Fair - Have You Ever Been To One?

VIMEO VERSION (In case Dtube doesn't load)

There is nothing like the feel of a small town. Every year, many towns and communities across America come together near the middle or end of summer and show off their garden goods, handicrafts and livestock. These are the producers of America. People who still actually get dirty and work with their hands on their farms or homesteads. It takes work, time and effort to grow a garden or to sew a quilt or to raise a sheep or new calves. These things don't happen by themselves by someone sitting in front of a TV or playing video games.

Most of these fairs go unnoticed by the rest of America in the big cities these days. People have no concept of coming together for such an event. Heck, most people in the major metropolitan areas don't even know their neighbors much less talk to them and get together with them as a community at a fair. But in small town America, these things still happen and its a fun week of show and tell.

This year, An American Homestead received the most amount of points and ribbons for our entries into the fair. As we build upon each years success, it provides motivation on what new additions we can bring for the next fair.
