Beer Craft Booths, Potbelly Pigs and Kettle Corn. Yep. I'm in Ada.

I know I'm from the country when I am reminded of my younger days during the Harvest and Herb Festival (HHF) in Ada, Ohio. Those who grew up in the city probably don't know what a true country festival is or understand why people go to these functions. Well I really enjoy festivals like the HHF because of the food, people, craft booths and animals.

There is nothing more delicious than fair food. I really enjoy working out and attempting to eat healthy, but kettle corn and carmel bananas with nuts are my true weaknesses. I was able to enjoy these tasty treats as I walked down Main Street this morning with a couple of my close friends.

When I go to these festivals I always make sure to go with a couple friends. Always bring your close girlfriends because craft shopping can get boring if you're doing this alone. Not only do I enjoy my friends company when shopping around these small festivals, but I also enjoy the people. Growing up in a small town you get to know everyone. I really like this atmosphere because you make really close friends and everyone is so nice. However, there is one downfall of getting to know everyone. When you live in a small town everybody will know your business. So, don't do anything you wouldn't want your folks to know. I actually saw a kid at a craft booth today that hit a woman in the head with a football. Definitely something you don't want your momma to know.

After watching that kid hit the woman in the head at the craft booth I figured I'd better walk away and look at other things. As I walked away I found the perfect redneck booth. The people had miscellaneous signs about beer, housewives and football. Yep, typical country life for you. Nothing to do except drink beer, watch football and cook in the house. Just the life I want (sarcasm) except I want plenty of animals as well.

The animals that I want to have are a miniature pony and a potbelly pig. I actually got to see both when I went to the HHF today. I love potbelly pigs so much. They are adorable. Although, I don't think one could live in the city which is where I plan on living one day.

So, yes. HHF has brought back some fond memories of my country days but I think the change to the city is going to be nice when I graduate in May.
