NPR Road Trips: Fairs and Festivals: Stories That Take You Away . . . Audiobook (Free)

Step right up as the gates golf swing open in fairgrounds over the USA. This delightful collection explores the unique joys of the general public gatherings that happen in cities and small cities, when folks of all stripes and sizes meet to gawk at cows, ponder seed artwork, obtain hypnotized, compete in husband-calling contests, and consume virtually anything on the stick. Farming, meals, politics, parades, shilling, glad-handing, people-watching, and silliness are celebrated right here. If you’ve gone to a fair or celebration, you’ll like this collection. If you haven’t, here’s what you’ve been missing.
