This coming week would have been our county fair.  Like so many county fairs across the country, it has been cancelled due to COVID-19.  You have no idea how bummed that makes me feel.  I absolutely LOVE our fair.  I love the sights, the sounds, the smells, the exhibits, the shows, the demolition derby, and of course, the food!!!  Alas, this year, it's not to be.

But, on this episode I share with you some of the reasons why we participate in our fair and why I think you might want to consider participating in yours, even if it's not going to be until 2021.  Some of the reasons I think homesteaders should consider taking part are:

• Good for kids: responsibility, affirmation, learn more about their animals, etc.
• Great way to connect with other like minded people
• Great way to introduce others to the lifestyle (or at least components of the lifestyle) and educate people on why raising your own food is a good thing
• Validation
• Fun
• Great way to advertise if you are selling meat, veggies, etc.

Enjoy!
