Mid-South Fair is a joke. It use to be the best in when in the area. It was great when it was in…read moreMemphis. All they have is bad food that is mostly pre-cooked and lukewarm. The Turkey legs were dry and no seasoning. The Corn on the cob was small and tasteless. Nothing was fresh at all. The rides and games were fine. Little to no entertainment whatsoever. It's a change of time that it time to say goodbye to once a great fair.

This was our first year at the Mid-South fair and we had a great time. We actually went in two…read moreseparate days. First, the pig racing events were awesome. The announcer was fun, lively and great at getting the audience involved. I'd never seen pig racing, think horse racing on a tiny track...but with pigs. The Fearless Flores family was awesome too. The best way to describe them is...fearless...and talented, entertaining and super friendly. The fair offered a lot of food and drink vendors so there was plenty of selection. All fair type foods but that is what we like. Additionally, there were a variety of rides to entertain adventure seekers if all ages and risk capacities. :-) On our first evening there, there was not a lot of people which was nice. On night two the lines were long but the vendors, carnies, etc. had their game tight and lines were glowing. I'm excited for next year. See you there!

Oxford Treehouse Gallery was the venue of choice for my daughter's Mississippi wedding shower. From…read morethe moment we first contacted Oxford Treehouse Gallery (OTH) we knew this was the place for us. One must drive down a dirt road to find the gallery nestled among the trees. I am not sure if was the chickens that greeted me, the beautiful gallery, or the hospitality of Vivian and Walter Neill that made me never want to leave. Vivian worked tirelessly with us to orchestrate the shower, which was much needed since we were planning from our homes in Minnesota, Massachusetts and Maine. She was a source book of knowledge and wealth of support. The day of the event, Walter and Vivian could not have been more helpful. Our guests were astounded by the venue, all who came commented upon the uniqueness. I would highly recommend OTH as a venue for special events.

With 43 food trucks and vendors, Tiger Lane was absolutely hopping and I was lucky enough to be a judge...which means I got to eat EIGHT different dishes from competing food trucks...and it was extremely difficult to choose a winner because they were all incredibly delicious. (Spoiler alert: The Meltdown from St. Louis won with their grilled cheese!) The festival benefited Literacy Mid-South and attendees could come for FREE. The only thing that cost anything was food (duh) and $10 for VIP parking. I did a couple of laps and was continually impressed with how many new MEMPHIS food trucks there are - and they are yummy (seriously, before this weekend, I only knew of three)! Food trucks might just be my new addiction. Word to the wise: Get here early before the lines get too long and they run out of food.

I was in West Tennessee for business and decided to take a detour over to Ames Plantation in…read moreFayette County to visit the graves of some family members. The Ames Plantation was originally named Cedar Grove by its original owner John W. Jones who had settled there in the 1820s. The large cotton plantation was one of the most productive in the area. I hadn't been to the plantation in years. I've never visited this Plantation as a tourist. I've only come here when a family member passes away and is buried here at the Old Jones Cemetery. But I will say, it amazes me how they have kept the plantation intact after all these years. When I was a child, I saw workers (sharecroppers or indentured servants) working those cotton fields and it was the strangest site. I didn't see any workers this trip, but one thing was clear during my drive to and from the Ames Plantation, cotton is still king in this part of the state.

Let me be the first to say how much we enjoyed the fall festival today. There are 18,500 acres…read morehere, and I'm guessing about 50 acres for the festival. There was such a large turnout today, but there was plenty of room for people to run around. You start off by parking in a large field where you are transported back and forth by school bus. There are police helping the traffic in and out and parking attendants to make the parking move smoothly. Then there are trucks and golf carts that will help people from their cars to and from the busses. The parking attendant recognised our handicap tag and directed us toward a designated parking field near the grounds. Then once in the field, there are golf carts and a tractor wagon to help people get around. I was disappointed to see that the canons were at another event, but the civil war guys were there doing stories, answering questions, demonstrating and firing the muzzel loaders. General Grant and Greirson were telling civil war stories. Lots of vendors. Everything homemade from quilts, clothes, bird houses, to jellies and honey. Lots of food trucks and plenty of room to eat in the fire station. Live music, demonstrations, history, and education for the kids to learn about daily life during the old days. Ames is owned by a trust from the family that owned it and is dedicated to preservation of its history. They have archaeology digs with colleges and study and manage the wildlife habitat. There are several cemeteries and much research has been done regarding those who occupied the area. There are programs for hunting deer, quail, and coyotes. At least that's what I gathered from their site. We live close by and go every year, and are no strangers to a rural setting, but it is great for kids who love to get away from the city for a day. Some of the vendors that return each year are kettle fried popcorn which I have not tried, fresh ice cream made as it is served, and fresh made pork rinds that they make while you wait. This is some advice, and not a complaint: the lines for any type of food tend to be really long and consume much of the day. All of the sales tents, however, have little to no wait to shop, browse, or buy, and all of the vendors are very friendly and more than willing to talk. Advise for the long lines: by using multiple people to wait in multiple lines, they can buy for each other simultaneously. Also, don't make the mistake we did by postponing purchases for the reason of not having to carry your goods around. They do sell out and you may leave empty handed. We did not arrive until noon because of cool morning weather and left almost five. That's five hours and we were only able to see about half of what was there. Another tip, it is to your advantage to go in a large group so that you can split into groups with different interests. I say this because there is not enough time to do everything, and if you are a family that sticks together the whole time, everyone will spend a lot of time doing something they didn't want to. The 2015 weather turned out great, but last year was muddy and wet from having rained so much. The turnout was less than half for the event, it was muddy, but they did waive the small entrance fee. It's impossible to expect the weather to cooperate every year on the same day without the ability to reschedule the day, so it is hit and miss. We will see you again next year, weather permitting.
