2008: 21st Annual Pecan Festival in Richton

[Guru]

I am going to miss this but I hope you all take advantage of going. This may be the most complete festival that I know of and you will see things there that you just will not see anywhere else and there are things you will not see done the old fashioned way unless you get buzzard lucky.

The festival runs From September 26-28 which will be next Friday, Saturday and Sunday; not this coming weekend.

The website for the event is www.mspecanfestival.com

It's labeled as "The South's Fastest Growing Family Festival" but people from Richton tell me it's been that way all along.

Horse shoe contests, tractor and truck shows, fiddle players, banjo players, other musicians, mule pulls, demonstrations of old time farm equipment actually being used, arts and crafts of the highest caliber, the old farmstead and walk through the log cabins, food you would not imagine, herd dogs contests, my best chicken contests, wheel potters, basket makers, wood and chainsaw carving, knife making, herbalists, quilting, pony rides, train rides, wagon rides, purtiest rooster contest, bake-offs and homeade relishes and honey. The list of things here go on and on.

Don't miss the chance to treat yourself, friends, children and grandchildren to this event.

He has been very lucky with his honey sales. Also he sales ARMADILLO TRAPS.

The squirrels have already started a pecan festival in my back yard. This is the first year since Katrina I've had a heavy crop on my tree and the tree rats have been giving them hell. I've killed 9 so far in the past week and still don't have them under control. They must be able to smell the things a mile off.

BTW: I need a Diller Trap, too. I tried to get my sights on one in the carport last night but he came straight at me and i was afraid to shoot for fear of ricochet off concrete. Is it my imagination or have these things gotten faster?
When he hit the yard where I might get a shot, he hauled booty like a rabbit.

[Guru]

Maybe he wanted to date your lamp.

No pecan trees here, but plenty of mice guess that are harvesting cow feed for the winter...except they are in the wrong house...sic'em Furgy...........good girl!

Sugar I bought one of those things you plug into an electric outlet, bought this thing a few years ago and I do see some kind of difference.

[Sugar]

What is it called?

[Guru]

I don't know and can't remember where I picked it up. I've had it plugged in the den for several years now.
I betcha Lowes or somewhere like that has them.

[Sugar]

[Guru]

Except for this constant head jerk thing I'm okay so far.
