Kitchen Table Kibitzing ~ 8.31.20 ~ mocking TN

A lot of people mock Tennessee because, well, because we look like this:

Despite all the red that makes us look so fat we have a lot of cool things going on here. For starters we have an abundance of trees and forestland which the Tennessee Forestry Association likes to whack down. But, you know what we do with them after we chop them down? We make whiskey barrels and drumsticks out of them. Now, that is cool. What tree doesn’t want to be a whiskey barrel when it grows up?

Plus we have all kinds of cool festivals. In September, in Cleveland TN, we have the Fried Pickle Festival! Whee! There will be arts and crafts, pony rides, bouncy castles, but mostly there will be fried pickles! All of the food vendors participating are required to serve them.

There will be contests too, like, who can drink the most pickle juice and eat the most pickle ice cream, as well as pickle shaved ice eating contests. Yuk Yum!  Mr. Pickle himself will be making an appearance and will be available for photo ops and meet and greets. 

                                                                                Mr. Pickle!!

Oh, and that’s not all either. In both September and October there will be banana pudding festivals! So, go ahead and  mock TN, but I’d like to see your state top this kind of crap fun!
