One of the great things about living in a small town that also has tourism as its primary (ok, only) industry, we have a different festival virtually every weekend. You can get an idea of how many events by looking at this schedule. This weekend was the Ole Smoky Tractor Club and they put on a parade down our main road. Other than the fact that they needed some Siberian Huskies in the parade, we thought it was really good. Here are a few pictures:
One of the many cool antique tractors.
We were waving back.
A couple of more coming down the road.
Ok, lots more tractors.

A Shark Attacked My Best Friend
June 20, 2025 - In honor of the 50th anniversary of the theatrical debut of the movie Jaws, the film that was the inspiration for these events, D. K. Wall recorded the story in audio and video. The original story was posted on October 9, 2022.
A shark attacked my best friend when I was 11. His screams were awful. The silence that followed was worse. I was alone in the ocean.
Enjoy it your way

His books pay for our food!
Way cool! I love tractors!
I never see tractors in my town. Mostly because I live in the middle of a big city!
Sounds nice, but they definitely need some huskies!
Our nephew would be in heaven! He loves tractors and actually came to our house to see the parade this year because he likes tractors so much, but there were hardly any to be seen this year. A tractor festival sounds like a great time!
My husband and I both want to leave the city – and this is one of the reasons why. He’s never lived anywhere but the city, but I grew up in a small town the city overtook and I miss it.

Sounds like home to me. Remember Garrison Keillor who spoke of Toast and Jelly Days in Woebegon? We have, in a nearby town, Potato Days, and in another Turkey Days. There are more too numerous to mention. Our cup runneth over!
