I've lived in Alabama for over 45 years and never went to the Peanut Festival in Dothan. I couldn't tell you how many years it has been going on, and surprisingly Lori hasn't been there either. Today was the last day for this year, they were going to disassemble the rides tonight and pack up. There were no C/ W artists, no livestock, just rides and vendors, and if you weren't going to ride anything there was no admission fee. Lori and I gassed up her car and off we went. It's a pretty fair piece from here to Dothan, maybe 100 miles or so, but we went anyway. I saw some rides that I know I'd never get on, even if I was thirty years younger. We wandered around, were agast at the prices the vendors wanted for their food, but Lori did want a slice of pizza. I thought it was absolutely terrible. Then we decided that we had seen enough and walked the I dunno how far back to the car. We looked at each other and decided that we were satisfied, both of us could now say that we've been there, and probably will never go again.
On the upside, December 1&2 there will be a big gun show in the same place! I probably won't go, as I stay pretty broke.......
