For all of you who enjoy gun-slinging, roping, whips and knives of the old west, be sure and go by and see the Rhinestone Ropers in Fiddlers Grove beside the poultry barn.

Here is a little taste of what's going on at the Wilson County Fair. Debi & the Doo Wops at the Melrose Church in Fiddlers Grove. I will post more videos later.

I am finally here to start another year at the Wilson County Fair. Weather is fine right now, we got a little wet earlier. If you see me, stop and say hello. Hope to see you soon!

OK all my senior friends, It all starts today! Today only, wear a Ford logo hat or bring a Ford keychain and get $2.00 off gate admission price. Don't like all the crowds, Fiddlers Grove is the place for you. Tonight is the sheep dog demonstrations just inside the purple gate near the farm equipment. And boy, I can already smell the great food and I'm not even there yet! There is something for everyone!

Hello to all my senior friends. It has been a very busy summer so far. The heat has been oppressive but seems to have settled back into a more normal July. Be sure to drink plenty of liquids and be careful when doing activities outside.

The fair is just one month away. My how time flies. Is it just me or does it seem to go faster the older you get! There are a lot of activities at the fair for the senior folks. One of our most popular is Fiddlers Grove where you can step back in time to a more relaxed period in our history. Enjoy all the restored buildings and crafts from another time. Watch the broom maker hand make straw brooms. Watch the weaver and the blacksmith along with the millers grinding corn. See how molasses is made using horse power. That's one horse power!

More later. Hope you have made your plans to attend the 2012 Wilson County Fair.
