You might remember that I love small town newspapers…

I got a hold of a copy of my favorite paper today.  If you act quickly, you might experience the best that rural life has to offer.

I will only make two comments:

1) Apparently, zucchini races are exactly what they sound like.  People build cars from zucchini and race them down a track.  Seriously.

2) I read aloud that you could stick around for the musical styling's of “Def Heifer” and it elicited a snort from a co-worker who recently moved here from St. Louis.  She only said, “I cannot believe I live here.” 

I don’t make these things up.  I promise.

I really hope you went to this. I’m shocked that the “Something cooked with Zucchini” category was only added THIS year!

I know, right? The only reason I can see for the most recent inclusion of that particular category is that people around here make zucchini one of two ways: fried and in a cake.

Alas, I did not get to attend. I had bigger and better things going on last night. None of which, involved zucchini.
