Signs, people and things you will only find at the Kentucky State Fair

1. Grown men in overalls with no shirt underneath.
2. Pork butt on a stick.
3. T-shirts proudly declaring "Redneck" on a back drop of a Confederate Flag.
4. Purses designed to display photos of your dog.
5. A small girl curled up in the hay talking to her cow.
6. A man absent-mindedly dangling his fingers in a rabbit cage right next to a big sign (complete with cartoon) saying "Keep your fingers out, rabbits have teeth."
7. A four year old and a six year old riding in a double stroller.
8. Multiple dogs riding in those wheely wire carts my grandmother used to use to pick up her groceries from Grand Union.
9. People who think nothing of walking barefoot through the livestock pavilions.
10. "Fried Candy Bars: Snickers $3, Twinkies $3"
