Well, I guess no one lives by Forest City? I thought it was up Scranbarres way........
It sure looked like fun on TV.
I'd go for the crafts........the perogie contest, not for me.  |

Forest City is in Susquehanna County, north of Carbondale. It's probably a half-hour to thirty-five minutes north of Scranton. It's just a bit of a haul with how gas prices are.  |

I live near the town. It is a nice event for the town with "a mile of hospitality." Friday night: fireworks. 8pm Flaxy Morgan. Saturday, 1pm: Parade. Pierogi Eating Contest: 3pm. Evening (according to F.C. News) Mechanical Bull Riding 7pm: Iron Cowboy. Sunday: Chicken BBQ, Kennedy Park at noon. Also at noon, Cow Plop Bingo  2pm: Pet Show; 3pm: Hat Show; Bounce House and Water Wars - Kennedy Park. There are food vendors in a supermarket parking lot, crafts along the sidewalks, etc. If you want good pizza, stop in Giuseppe's - Excellent! But, if you really want to make a worthwhile trip to Susquehanna County, hop on I-81 the week of the 18th for the Harford Fair, in Harford. That is definitely worth the trip each year. |

I think it sounds like a real hunk of fun. But, the Cow Plop Bingo.........Ah..........I donno'. The Pet Show sounds fun..........The Hat Show too.
Doylestown does a few of these, and it just makes their town so appealing.
I wish the town was a bit closer to me. Right now the closest thing is the West End Fair coming soon in Aug. too!
