Description:
Rustic family festival spotlighting goats, games and crafts.
The festival evolved around the idea of having goat chariot races for fun. It simply followed that folks would enjoy other goat contests, such as the largest goat or the longest horns and, yes, even "pill" flippin'. Contests were conceived, rules were set down, and volunteers were enlisted to oversee the activities.
Today, it is a community-supported family festival which not only promotes the goat, but helps many worthy causes and charities. This wonderful festival is not only for those who own goats, however. There are many activities that are just plain fun. There is a Dutch Oven contest for the public and for the Scouts. There is a catfish cook-off and an ice cream making contest. You can even watch the working of cedar shingles or the grinding of corn meal.
