What do you get at the intersection of autumn, fried food and farm animals? The Dixie Classic Fair.

To some, the immense scale of the fair would be unimaginable in their hometowns. A school parking lot was the usual location for the spring fair in my hometown, so seeing the permanent fair grounds right next to the Joel took me by surprise my first go-around. Of course, the same staples are present at most fairs: food, fun and rides. Admittedly, we didn’t even have farm animals at my town fair, but I’m made to believe they’re pretty common outside of my small bubble.
