My family culture is a little
redneck, with rich traditions like our annual trip to the Bob Evans Farm
Festival in Rio Grande, Ohio, pronounced “Rye-O-Grand”. The
second weekend of October, we haul our 1960s Airstream to a little campsite down
the road from Bob Evans’ original farm. The weekend is rife with bluegrass
concerts, lumberjack shows, arts and crafts booths, homemade soup beans, and,
my personal favorite, the cow-chip tossing contest. The cow-chip tossing
contest - the most highly anticipated event of the year – requires that each
team of two fling a dried cow patty down-field and catch it in a 5-gallon
bucket. While I have yet to secure the glorious prize for victory in said contest
(a t-shirt that reads “Shake my hand, I won the Bob Evans cow-chip-tossing
contest”), I placed 2nd in the HIGHLY competitive adult division. Also,
my nutcracker obsession is borderline concerning (see below).
