"How do people have fun in your town?" was one of the most interesting questions Stories from Main Street asked of rural Americans over the years. Never let anyone say that life in small towns or rural communities is boring. While a community may look quiet from the outside, there's a ton of life bubbling within -- from town events to enjoying the natural landscape to swimming with an alligator. (Wait, what? Just listen!) Unsurprisingly, football comes up a lot when people answer this question. Communities will always come together to show their support and appreciation for their hometown teams. Having fun in a small town is built around close relationships with people or the land. How do people have fun in your community?
