Chicken Farmer's County
County had a heritage festival going this weekend....
The Courthouse square in Linden, Tennessee had a arts and craft festival around the square... Also they scheduled Bluegrass and Gospel music singing.... There was also historic cementary tours.. Some old gravestones in this county, some dating back to the to the opening of our country... There are many historic graves from the Civil war also... interesting....
There will be a Hee Haw jamboree this evening at the high school... Elvis Shinkicker will be the headliner with his Elvis impersanations, along with The rest of the countys Hee Haw troupe... This event will be going on bettter than it's second year now...
Took a big trip to the City of Lobelville, Tn on the north side of the county to sell a couple dozen eggs.... How far would you travel for a buck ?
Life in the county is good... our county is so small, even thou we have two large cities and another smaller one, Three Amish settlements in 435 sq. miles we only have 7200 people in the entire county.. The cows outnumber the people almost. and the estimated deer population comes close.. Our county is so small that we don't have a county fair, but the folkes in the next county across the river invite us to thiers....
Our county has two very small grocery stores... no Mc Donalds...No Walmart.... No nothing... I live 12 miles to either town in the county, a trip to town for something takes almost 20 minutes on the backroads and when ya get to town you wonder why ya came there... We do most of our shopping in Lexington, Tn.. but that is 38 miles away and two counties away.... For our major shopping we head an hour south to Florence Alabama or Corinth Mississippi...
It is diffrent living in the south for sure, But up north you can travel 38 miles and it will take ya over 2 hours... Down here people don't mind driving that is for sure... And we do combine trips...
One thing about the south is we have no snow to speak, Oh I ain't saying it never snows. It did snow one day last year but the next day it was 65' and the streets got the the chert dust washed away...... One benifit down here is you really can garden 3 plus seasons a year... We pull beans and lettuce out of the garden for christmas dinner. !
if ya ever get a chance to come down this way stop on in and say hi...
