This weekend there are two festivals going on in my area! There is the buttercup festival and then there is Mule Day! Oh which one should I attend...

Mule Day sounds intriguing. I wonder if they'll play Mule baseball. :humm:

I'm with Zirc on that one. Buttercups suck.

I have found since moving to the boonies that these country people really like their festivals. Each little town has something that they are known for and they create a whole festival around it.

Around here we have:
-Goats, Music, and More festival (my personal favorite)
-Mule day
-Buttercup festival
-Moon Pie festival (which is THIS weekend! whoopee!

They are so strange...yet so much fun to go to! I love them!

What about everyone else? Do you all have little festivals in your area celebrating some random animal or object?

Went to the Ben and Jerry's Sundae in the Park last year, and they had a little farm. Quite funny as well

The Dunmow Flitch, up the road from me at Great Dunmow is a quality one. My aunt's next door neighbours won it one year and they were always rowing with each other.
