Saturday afternoon, August 26

After Marcy Jo’s Meal House & Bakery, we picked up Heze’s friend Kayla and went to the Wilson County Fair in Lebanon,

We were impressed with the beautiful displays in the large exhibition center.

 

Poultry and rabbit displays in Poultry Barn “I”.

When outside the building we saw this “Abraham Lincoln” several times. I am not sure if he was doing something special that day or just walking around in Fiddlers Grove Historical Village.

I had noticed this village online when looking up things to do in the area surrounding Nashville and didn’t know that it was going to fit into the fair.

It was fun walking through this historic village.

This would have been fun to watch, but we were not there during a show.

I enjoying watching this old fashioned method of turning sorghum into syrup.

It gets boiled down in a method similar to maple syrup with a taste similar to molasses.

I found my favorite Dr. Seuss quote at a woodworkers stand.

The forge

We were disappointed to miss the fiddlers competition, but glad to watch a few guys just “fiddling around.”

That was a fun afternoon. Thanks, Kayla, for showing us around and explaining some of the things.
