I live in S.E. GA. and within a 50 mile radius in any direction we have festivals like "The Shrimp Festival" The crawfish Festival" "The Island Art Festival", " The Blessing of the Fleet". There are so many others that i can't name them . What kind of public celebrations do you have in your part of the world?

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.

We have reenactment of the civil war around here. I would love to see the mountain men and old west stuff. I grew up watching westerns and thought John Wayne was right up there with God in the scheme of things. The west has always facinated me and i read about it often.

It was great. We learned a lot of things about living back then. Things were weren't taught in school. Those details that would have made history a lot more interesting.

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.

Like i said there are so many that i can't remember them all. What i am curios about is this. Is it just a Southern thing or do they have this kind of thing in the North? And what about other countries, do you guys have this type of celebrations?

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.

the traffic and masses of people make it not worth the bother for me.
