    It's august so it's hot  but my little girl is happy.

    The best time to go is in the evening. It's so hot Parking is free and admission fees are so affordable.

    Had such a great time at the fair this year! There are so many shows, booths, and shopping opportunities for local businesses. Lots of animals, kid-friendly activities, delicious food, and of course games and rides. The lines for rides were pretty long, even at 9pm on a week night. Other than that I've enjoyed watching the tractor pull, hypnotist, tap dancing, and so much more over the years. I wish they could be here for longer so maybe the lines wouldn't be so long!

    The Wilson County fair is by far the BEST fair I have ever been to. The atmosphere, animals, vendors, food, and staff are just all incredible. I can not speak highly enough of this fair. There is so much to see and do. So many new events every single day of the fair (hypnotist, dog show, cat show, derby's, pageants, cow show, goat show, a birthing barn, clogging, dancing, etc.). There is SO MUCH and something for everyone. Even though this fair is in TN there are vegan and vegetarian options. Tater cakes and toasted coconut being two of those places!

    I was not prepared for how big of a spectacle the Wilson County Fair is, but I did enjoy myself! We came on a weeknight and the weather was perfect so there were plenty of people out enjoying the fair on this same evening. Some highlights included: -The fair food: Do yourself a favor and try both the "Walk'N Taco" which is basically frito pie. They open an individual bag of fritos (you can get a large or small) and then they pour in homemade chili and the toppings of your choice. We got everything on it. It was my favorite thing I had! We also tried a red velvet funnel cake. Folks, this is definitely no ordinary boring funnel cake. The red velvet flavor was amazing then it was drizzled with a cream cheese frosting and dusted with powdered sugar. Visually appealing and delicious! -The animals: We saw a tank with sea lions performing, Australian shepherds herding flocks of geese (honestly the best thing I saw that night), prized chickens and roosters, cattle and the biggest darn hog I had ever seen -The performances: We saw people doing the YMCA from a hypnotist's trance, a bluegrass group killing that banjo performance and a mobile puppet show -The rides: They have all the main rides like roller coasters and the Ferris wheel. We went down a large slide and that was our amusement of the night -Games: Toss a ring on a duck or throw darts at balloons to win a 5 foot monkey or a pink elephant The Lebanon Fairgrounds also have the historic Fiddler's grove which are buildings that all were moved and placed here to preserve them. We enjoyed walking around in and out of these buildings as well. They have little places to sit with white string lights which are scenic and away from the big crowds. Overall, a must for anyone who lives in middle Tennessee. This fair is bigger than the Tennessee State Fair, so you know you're in for an experience!

    So, just to give the reader a frame of reference to how big this thing is-it's literally bigger than the Tennessee STATE fair...and it's just a COUNTY fair!? Anyway, it's just like what you would expect from a fair, so if you're expecting anything different, we'll,...shame on you:) It has every ride you could think of, all complete with questionable carnies as well as suspect construction of all rides. Half the fun of carnivals is the element of death on every ride, right? Also, the food is delicious, but so extremely gluttonous that it makes you sad after eating it,...like it literally affects your mood in a negative way? It's definitely worth going though for sure at least once.

    Lots of fun! Spread out with plenty of room for everyone to enjoy the evening! Had a great time!

    This was probably one of the best county fairs I have ever been to. Admission was $12 to get in, which I felt was a bit steep but overall well worth it. You had options as far as parking. You could park at the fairgrounds and pay, or park up the road at the local high school for free and take a shuttle. Make sure to wear good walking shoes, if you plan on checking out the games and food. Depending on what entrance you choose, you are greeted by the great smell of sweets, bbq, and other treats. There were multiple options ranging from the standard corn dogs, burgers, and fried goodies. There were definitely plenty to choose from that would appeal to both the kiddos and adults. As far as games and rides go, there were plenty to choose from as well. Games on closing weekend had better deals and better chances to win. However, the typical crooked basketball rims and standard balloon popping games were plenty. This is definitely an event I recommend taking part in next time they are in town!

Located just southwest of downtown between midtown and broadway, The Gulch is an expansive, but equally quaint part of the city that is classic mixed use of residential and retail. Main reason you may find me in The Gulch is for food. There is a solid variety of eateries from local casual spots to more established dining, sandwich shops and even a few spots for dessert. While that's my reason, most tourists find their way to The Gulch for the famous wing mural next to Biscuit Love. Got to get them wings while in Nashville! Outside of the food and wings, there are lots of local and chain businesses and services in the area including self-care, medical offices and of course clothing boutiques. Additionally, Noble Park is in the middle of The Gulch. It's a really cool urban space that features a good green space, seating, music and a water wall. It is also host to markets and small events throughout the year. Parking is plentiful in The Gulch, buts its all paid. There are garages, lots and street parking. Overall, The Gulch is a cool area of the city that I don't find myself in too often, but when I do, I always enjoy it!

Walk this park, along the small river and imagine yourself here without the car waiting to take you back to town, to Sonic for a diet cherry limeade. What would you see and hear thousands of years ago walking this land?The trees you see today are probably less than 40 years old. Would the fields have been cleared of growth thousands of years ago? Three stars is for the lack of information about the hard to follow trail and the location of the mounds. Otherwise, it's a nice little detour. The trail is not very developed but it's also not crazily hard. It's a pleasant loop that takes you alongside a small river. A super peaceful walk. We all inspected the rocks and found fossils, bones, mussel shells. It's hypnotic and meditative to scrounge for fossils and the odd looking stone on the banks of a river on a peaceful cool day. Afterwards, my crew was sedate, lost in their own thoughts, feeling that good tired from fresh air and exertion. Looking forward to a hot meal and their pillows. Not for strollers but toddlers can manage the trail just fine. Ground is a little uneven so those who are insecure about walking a field, this won't feel comfortable but its manageable. The rocks and bubbling river are peaceful and lovely. Be careful during heavy rains. The water comes up easily 4-5 feet. Come before the sun sets. A sunset is spectacular and gives you the most wonderful light for sweet pictures.

Just north of the capital and the Farmers Market and South of Metro Center, it's a wonderful neighborhood worthy of a leisurely afternoon stroll or a visit to one of it's lovely restaurants or shops. You will know you are there when you find row housing and brick sidewalks. The Germantown Cafe, Monells, and new hot dog place are among worthy contenders for your visit. They also have an Oktoberfest with lots of beer, polka, and kraut which always attracts a crowd. The neighborhood itself has exploded in the last few years so there are wonderful options for places to live there as well. It is the only neighborhood with some stunning views of the capital in addition to the downtown skyline.

Murfreesboro, Tennessee has been in existence since 1811 and played a part in the war between the states by being the site if a major Civil War engagement that is known as both the Battle of Stone River or the Battle of Murfreesboro. The site of the Battle is now a national park and I would recommend a visit here if you are in Murfreesboro, Tennessee or somewhere around the area. I would definitely recommend visiting this community. While I have only been here on business, when 5:00 hits (or whenever I get done with my work day), I do do the tourist thing and check the community out.

All the wonderful things I cherish about this Middle Tennessee treasure are quickly being obscured by rising taxes, disappearing green space and horrendous traffic that is doing its best to emulate Nashville's.

Quality/Quantity - Cool walking around seeing all the different studios here. It would be nice to get a tour and learn more...? Also had a decent small "bar" and "Honky Tonk" scene. But I choose to just hang out at Tailgate Brewery instead. Well we did walk that small strip. "Broadway" street is also not too far away if you really want to party! There is some art, scriptures, etc. also. Not sure if I took those pictures. We were told October was a perfect time to visit. :) Atmosphere - See above. Service - Good.

Local residents showed up in droves and genuinely valued -- and purchased -- handmade work. I made five to $7000 twenty years ago. Unfortunately, the show has changed significantly. It now draws large crowds, many of whom appear to be bused in from outside the area. While attendance is high, sales are not. The loyal local audience seems to have been pushed out by the increased congestion, and many no longer attend. Equally disappointing is the noticeable decline in handmade goods. Walking the show this year, I spoke with several talented artists who shared that they struggled to cover even their basic expenses and do not plan to return. It's a real shame that the show has declined like it has. It used to be a beautiful show and Franklin is a nice town.
