This past Saturday was a big event day in
I visited Rockwood's 2009 Fall Festival which was held on the main drag. The event included a beauty pageant, dunking booth, and lots of bouncy things for kids, crafts, hot dogs, baloney sandwiches, fried apple, peach, cherry, lemon, and vanilla pies, popcorn, fried chicken legs and much more!
There was an old tractor and car show and many musical acts including Bill Wright, Russ Roberts, Joanne Cash Yates and more. The music played constantly, one act at a time, while people strolled the street eating and looking at the crafts offered for sale. The antique stores had a continuous stream of "lookers", while child giggled and screamed in glee!
Over in 
the ball field, and inside the field fence was various things to do like listen to bluegrass music, climb a rock wall, face painting, ride a slow pony to nowhere, or bounce or play in the colored balls!
I missed the antique car show, which, by that time, was cruisin' over to Rockwood's event! Darn! I sure wish the events had been on different weekends!
It was a beautiful day in 
over backwards, leaving one booth worker rubbing her head! At Rockwood, one worker held on to the tent while another made my sandwich!
Anyway, I had a great time eating my fried baloney "samich" and cherry pie! Wish you had been there...you could have held my drink for me!
There are more photos of both events posted HERE!

Fried baloney and blue grass?
Heaven!
It don't get any better than that..Did you ever see a bluegrass band ( although we play mostly Southern Gospel and Classic Country) arrive by limousine?
No I missed that Ray...wish I had though! It was late by the time I got there on Saturday...around 4...I think!
Looks like fun.
Fried baloney---that's a "picnic-standard" for local events, fer shure!
God, how I miss what could be called "simpler-days"...
Well, anyplace with fried chicken and pie is okee-dokee by me! The fried bologna, though... My Dad used to fry up bologna a lot - it was a depression-era treat from his childhood - and I couldn't stand the smell. Never have tried it because of that.
We were glad to the bologna. Usually all us "young'uns" got was soup made from the "rind" around the bologna. I see Hardee's has a bologna biscuit, I wonder what they do with the "rind"?
Don't know, but the biscuit is great!
