I expected so much more from this event…read more The bbq was not that great and they advertised a "big" plate but it wasn't. The music and activities weren't good enough to justify me taking advantage of it in future years. They were good, just not good enough. Maybe football and fair season isn't the best time for the event to draw a crowd. I just went on Saturday. If the event planners are reading...find more stuff for people to do. Games etc for adults. Have better raffle prizes (candied popcorn really?) Also it's Smokin on the Rez and the logo has an alligator. Kind of confusing. I don't associate alligators with the Rez enough and I'd expect a pig for the Smokin part. As an event planner I rate this a flop. If it was free then maybe I'd have more stars, but not worth $10, and that's saying something. If you need ideas, message me, I've planned my share of successful community events. Hope it improves because it's a good idea. It needs a lot of work.

Please read. The fair was okay. It wasn't worth $10 getting in. There was a rude older gentleman. I…read morehad a clear bag on my back. He act like he wanted to search me for prison. Do not buy. Buy the cinnamon rolls I repeat. Do not buy them. They're not cinnabon these are large and $9 nasty biscuit cinnamon rolls. Not what you expect at all. It was garbage and so thick and biscity that the icing couldn't even cover it. They were horrible. And the Mexican truck that sell tacos and Berea tacos. They were garbage.

It was So Expensive!! I don't know how a family can afford to go!! I rode one ride, the ride that goes from one side of the fair to the other. You had to put money on a card to ride, and you had to pay $2 for the card, just to ride one ride. This is the worst experience ever!! I will definitely not go back!!

My husband and I visited Iron Horse Grille on Wednesday. The server Rhoda came to the table and…read moregreeted us. That young lady went through the opening, took our orders and suggested drinks and entrees. She suggested that we try the Navajo chicken with a salad and mash potatoes. She asked if we wanted a mix drink or House margarita. She was so friendly and by the end of the meal, we laughed an talked. Great server and my husband and I have made a Mississippi friend. the atmosphere we warm and friendly, clean and tidy.

The Ambiance is relaxed and entertaining with top notch Live Music. I enjoyed the appetizer sampler platter as well as a fresh garden salad with crumbled bleu cheese, both prepared fresh and were excellent! My main entree was the crab stuffed MS Delta Catfish fillet with a side of steamed broccoli. Nothing disappointed and thanks again to Cordell B. For his top shelf attention to us and his service kindness.
