If I lived anywhere near here, I would go to this festival, if only to tell my friends that I spent the weekend in "Smackover." However, the unusual name is not the only attraction — there are many folksy activities to do as well, including horseshoe pitching competitions, bake offs, cake walks and tug of war. There are also a number of activities for children and a "Kid's Corner." And, of course, many artisans will be there to sell their wares.

Float on over to Foley, Alabama, to see the sky fill up with hot air balloons. Enjoy the whimsical sight while shopping in the Arts and Crafts Village, and don't miss the Dog Show or the opportunity to pet a baby alligator!

Have a knack for sleuthing? Nancy "Draw" and the "Arty" boys need assistance in solving the clues the Illinois Art Museum has laid out for them! Prefer something more relaxed? Take a carriage ride and watch historical reenactments along the way. There's also a carnival, a craft show and much more.

For those of us who just can't wait until next Saint Patrick's Day, the Big Irish Fair is a lucky solution. With countless spirited activities and the best Irish performers around, leprechauns will surely be present among the throngs. So brush up on a Gaelic accent and check out the Irish Art Show where some find treasures equal to those at the end of a rainbow.
