S1E45 The Homestead and the County Fair

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!
