Country Ham Festival

yes, I know the focus of this picture isn’t the little girl–I wanted you, dear blog reader, to see the "normal" fall decorations in Tennessee. Two weekends ago, we spent the afternoon at our little town’s Country Ham Festival. Is was good to be out and seeing our "neighbors." If the advertising propaganda can be believed, the festival keeps getting bigger every year. This year there was a petting zoo, several blow-up bouncy things, apple butter and of course country ham. There was even a contest to judge the best country ham. We saw it, marked with a big blue ribbon, can’t say that it changed my life in any way, but we saw it!
