I've compiled a few pictures of some stuff I found in the Cotton Pickin' Fair this past weekend.  These are the kinds of things that I love about the Cotton Pickin' Fair.  I wish I could have taken many more pictures to show because there is much more to the fair than this, but here is a small taste.

Enjoy!

The town of Gay was named for Mr. Bill Gay and he had a peach farm there, once upon a time.

A Bar B Q pit so big the dude had to have a platform to get up to it.

Now that's what I'm talking about!

It's leather, it's camoflage, and it has a cross on it...every redneck Christian's dream...I own 3.

Cloggers.  Amen.

This brings a whole new meaning to the phrase "Go Dawgs!"

How could anyone possibly NOT want one of these?!

Seriously, where else can you buy an outhouse?

Two words:  Turkey Legs      (This one is for you Teddy Ray)

These last two are the only two things about the Fair that I can honestly say I seriously don't like...but they're part of what makes the Fair so great:

This guy puts on the most disturbing marionette puppet show (that is redundant on several levels) in the world.  I don't understand why they keep letting him come back to the Fair.  I'm convinced his show is warping the minds of the children who watch it.  I wanted to get him in action but I just couldn't stomach the show long enough to even walk up and take a picture.  It's really bad.

If there is anyone who belongs on the early episodes of American Idol, it's this guy.  He can't play the piano very well at all, but he is totally unaware of that fact.  Notice the elderly gentleman (who's obviously suffering from dementia) "enjoying" the performance.  The best part of the show?  The alligator shoes.
