    I don't think it's very redneck without alcohol!

    Yes, it's called NASCAR. I live near one of the bigger speedways. In fact there's a race this weekend. I'm looking forward to seeing a lot of this around town.

    There were weekly mud rides where I lived, Hope... along with the Watermelon Fest. The Chicken and Egg Fest in Emmett, I think. The Brick Fest in Malvern... fun time in Arkansas.

    In Tennessee (not too much better than Arkansas) I can think of the RC and MoonPie festival and this weekend I'm running in the Goo Goo Cluster hog and jog. Unfortunately, I'll end up in the red on Saturday thanks to the requirement of eating 6 goo goo clusters (which is like a candy bar but round, peanuts, caramel, marshmallow and chocolate) in the middle of the 4mi run.
    Nearby in KY, there is a tobacco festival.

    I can probably think of many more as my husband loves these things.

    hahahah a friend of mine just moved to Arkansas (from Michigan) .... been a bit of a shocker for her.

    Moved from a city of 50 thousand to a town of 8 thousand

    I am a bit jealous of the cost of living though

    5am? but it'll be dark then and we all know you have frisky hands...but, that'll come in handy when you're throwing a 5lbs cow chip! lol

    each year the next county from me (i'm in Virginia) hosts a mud bogging festival. maybe it's not unusual however they have it on Good Friday every single year. yes because Good Friday and mud bogging go hand and hand.

    I grew up here...but, lived in bigger cities (Dallas & Tampa)....business is in a 50k town, house in a 2k town. I'm enjoying the small town a lot more

    Well, here in Houston, we have a gun show every other weekend and knife shows about once a month. Texas loves its weapons.

    ETA: Right, Boom?
