O.k, so this is really cool (being a southern boy at heart and all). The Brookyn Country Fair is an attempt to break free of the Starbucks Lattes, mass herds of people , and everything else that contributes to big city histeria. The fair is comprised of pie eating contests, Tye Dying, and just an all around strong sense of the southern heritage, music, and lifestyle. lol , I know what you might be thinking, but sometimes it's nice to break free of the urban vacuum...and get yourself some peace and sweet tea lol. Check it out guys, ...do something different for a change.
