Celebrations, Events

When I lived in Kansas every little town or spot in the road had a festival of some sort. Out there they usually had to do with pioneer days or a rodeo, or founders day.Those putting on the festival would dress up like in the pioneers, mountain men, and soldiers or the old west. It was more fun that a museum because they could and would allow you to handle their displays. It was a lot like the reenactment here in the south only if you were interested in the black powder guns they would allow you to shoot if they were in the right location for it. My family learned a lot about the small pieces of history that way.

You might also want to include: The catfish festival, the Dogwood festival, the rattlesnake roundup, the rock shrimp festival, and there is also a festival geared to the swamp park but I forget what the name of that one is.

The same as you and there is not enough money in the world to make me actually try to go to one!

The same as you, although I'd have to drive a little further. I always liked the Crawfish Festival in Kingsland. It isn't unbearably hot when it comes around.

The others I have never been too, again, the traffic situation.
