I love all these stories . I was bored one day and couldn't find nothing on TV, and I just tried one of these stories on RUclips and I love every one of them.
I grew up on a farm 60s-70s. I belonged to 4-H. So we grew vegetables and my sister and I sewed something for the fair. We did photography. So many things I’m sure I have forgotten about. I loved the county fair. Have a great day.
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller Yes I did. I miss it. But unfortunately we can’t do anything about growing older and moving on. I have wonderful parents also. I always felt bad for the children that I knew that didn’t have it as good. Don’t take me wrong. We grew up on a farm. We all worked around the house and farm. We weren’t catered to. I had a man tell me not so long ago. When he was the manager of a small town fast food restaurant he hired farm kids often. They were the best workers.
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller You're Welcome Friend, Everytime I picture that horse 🐎 running faster than the wind round and around I cry with laughter. Your word's paint a memorable picture. God bless you and yours.
I used to make biscuits, several mornings a week, and I'd make our children, then grandchildren sausage gravy, always with sage sausage. Our children also liked a dish I made called Farmbreakfst, made with pan fried potatoes, in bacon grease , Vidalia onions, peppers, a pound of bacon, and set eggs, covered with good cheddar.. Each morning, the children and their friends, loved eating just about everything, be it pot roast, roast pork loin, fried chicken, along with biscuits.
My maternal grandma still cooked on a wood stove in the early 60's. We little ones took turns standing on a cane chair having the job of dropping dumplings into the large cast iron pot of boiling water. The food that came from that kitchen was wonderful and rich. Can close my eyes and taste those homemade biscuits.
Most of the channels I listen to as potcasts while doing chores . This channel I cannot but sit down to as I don't want to miss out on the lovely pictures. Those old folk were a blessing to the young generation for passing down all those entertaining stories . Thanks and greetings from Belgium.
I live in a small town in Ohio that is home to the only remaining independent fair. Its similar to the one granny was talking about. We still do all of the critter judging and canning and vegetable judging. We even have an antique tractor/equipment show and an old steam powered and tractor powered saw mill and a bunch of the farmers get together and build something using the old way of doing it. I absolutely love it. I moved here from north Alabama and we had county fairs but it was mostly rides and games. I prefer my small town fair. Y'all come and see us in Richwood, Ohio.
Hey from Memphis. My parents were from a small town in west Tennessee. On one of our monthly trips ‘back home’ us kids were put to work shelling purple hull beans. That evening we went to the county fair and I remember almost half the kids had purple thumbs! 😂
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller I finally subscribed today. Your videos are so easy on the ears reminds me of playing on the floor of grandma’s house while the grownups caught up or told old tales.
😊 I'm actually working on a cross stitch project to enter into the county fair this year! I love going to the fair and work all year on fun projects to enter.
Hi JD. I hope you're doing well. That part of the story about the biscuits took me back to my childhood and my Grandma's biscuits and fried chicken on Sunday's. I can remember it like yesterday. I miss the old timey fairs too. Take care brother.
This story takes me back to the Cass and Clay county fairs, plus the Red River Valley Fair in Minnesota and North Dakota. Great memories. Thanks for painting such wonderful "word pictures", JD.
Thank you Michael. I enjoy really stretching out and showcasing word painting thru spoken words from time to time without emphasis on video elements, instead painting a picture in the listeners mind. This was one of those stories.
There was *NOTHING* like hearing Grandma's stories! I wouldn't go to sleep without hearing something about Grandma's life growing up in Germany and how she escaped. I wish I'd appreciated them more and wrote them down. Decades later I can't remember them all, or most, sadly. Anyhow, hearing this story reminded me of that. Plus, honestly, who doesn't love a county/town fair? We still have them, though they're sadly dissipating. Thanks as always JD for bringing us another heartfelt story. ❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️
@13:17 - - "... and assumed a listening attitude, for even as young boy, I knew to pay close attention, when a Master Story teller was speaking..." and so it is when "The Appalachian Stroytell" weaves his memories for us ... Thank You
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller I love your stories - - down to earth - - a variety of tales - - imaginative (so unlike so many other current creators who seem to be lost in the computer game land of fighting, horror, limited life experience, etc.)
J.D. you made my day. This story brings back memories of our two girls growing up in a small rural town. In summer they lived for our county fair. Entering photos, food, crafts, showing sheep, the chicken parade, riding pony races, and the 2 day horse show. Relatives came to stay the week. My MIL made beautiful crafts to sell. It was so wonderful. Bless you for keeping Appalachia alive and stirring lovely memories.
Thanks JD, I could listen to you sharing Granny’s stories for hours, I can see the whole story in my minds eye, even had a chuckle with Granny at the antics of horses and riders 🤣 Blessings from Tasmania Australia 😊
Everyone of these stories like this makes me miss my grandparents. But I particularly miss my mother’s mother. That woman raised me as much as my parents and seemed never to be out of stories.
Dear JD, thank you for another stimulating and detailed memory. I love them so much, and I close my eyes and I am there. I love the how the journey to and from the fair was cherished by the family. From Ruth in England x
My grandmother was born in 1900 and shared many stories with us girls: going on her honeymoon in a model T, milking cows on the farm, and tending chickens. Now I'm a grandma too, with three grand girls of my own. I'm so glad stories will never go out of style, and can link families by relating snippets of daily life across generations. I really enjoy your channel JD, for your engaging style of narration and ability to bring your characters to life through your voice. Thank you for keeping American history, as well as the name and teachings of our Lord and Savior Jesus, alive through this channel.
I'd love to know the fair as granny did. I haven't went for 20 ish years and have no desire anymore. It's just not what it should be. Have a great night JD. Thanks for the story.
Love your stories!! Always loved going to the fair in my area. I live in Kingsport. I enjoyed the fair at night the most. Granny tells some wonderful stories. The horse racing story was awesome. I could almost see Granny in my mind’s eye laughing til the tears rolled down her cheeks.😂 Keep up these beautiful stories. They are comforting as well as entertaining. 💜 Ferris wheel 🎡.
That's a very entertaining,, exciting and enjoyable 😊 story! The best part recalling friends adventures that are near and dear to the heart. Gone but not forgotten, they still live in our hearts. ♥️
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller Thank You, It's a good day when I see a notification from your stellar channel. I know that fun adventures are about to begin. May God Bless You and Yours Always. Have an Awesome Day. 💯 😊
That was fun... I never heard about our fair being that wild... ☺️ Last time I went it seemed pretty tame. Thanks for sharing another time of your childhood 😎👍
I could take Granny's place thinking or telling of those stories that I've lived. I've never been in the Appalachians, went through once while taking a train to Maryland from these flatlands. I grew up along the front range of Colorado. And my adult life has been led on these Plains. My point is, no matter where you live, the stories told of living past times have always fascinated me. And in my older current age, I've got a few myself. I just love yakkin' with folk, especially those older than I. Anyway, I think I can say I've been in both those folks shoes, just from growing up and listening. However, the Appalachian stories are the best out of all I've done or heard. Thanks, JD for sharing. 😊
Mornin' JD! Today's story brings back memories both good and bad but memories nonetheless! Times have changed, as have most folks and it's been a minute since I visited a county fair but it took me back to when I wore a younger man's clothes and I was full of mischief! Thanks for helping me look way back, friend, and I'll see ya again soon!
Really enjoyed the Granny story. My grandma always had her whole back yard turned into vegetables and fruit plants. She made jam and apple butter each year and a time or two to entered the canned goods at the fair. And thinking of the county Fair, brings back some memories. When I was 8 or 9 years old in 1965, the county fair had a “greased pig catching contest “. I dreamed of entering the contest. But actually didn’t being as I was kind of younger. But…….it sure sparked my “pig catching imagination” for a few hours! Great story and memories.
Loved it! Other than my Daddy and three more of his siblings, were the old ones. I sure do miss those stories us children use to get out of the elderly. Now the young ones listen to us. Love to hear all those yarns, some were true, others a bit of truth in them. Thanks for sharing JD👍
Thank you for this video. I listened to it again; and. it didn't mess up the second time. Here is something else not done anymore. When I was younger (sometime in the spring or early summer) Hardware Stores used to advertise and host a Free Pressure Cooker and Pressure Canner Clinic. This isn't done anymore. Good luck at finding and buying replacement seals and safety fuses for any Pressure Cooker or Pressure Canner today. They have to be replaced every year, if you use them
Wow, I had forgotten about that, I remember them setting those up and they would even have an automatic bean sheller. It blew my mind to watch them dump beans in it and in seconds they were completely processed. I stood there as a little boy and said "dad, would you look at that! I wish we had one of those!" He said, "aw, we don't need one of those, besides I already have a bean sheller at home!" as he nudged me with his elbow and gave me a wink. I had forgotten about that memory until I read your post about the pressure cooker. Thank you for that
Makes me think we had grannies of similar ways, thanks for sharing, and bringing that sweetness to my day. I truly hope you know your worth and that you treat yourself accordingly, goodness knows the world won't! God bless
Morning JD, another great story that brought back sweet memories. I loved county fairs and carried it over to my own kids. Now it's the state fairs for me. Y'all stay safe out there my friends 🙏
Hello JD! Fairs are not what they used to be when I was a kid. No wooden roller coaster either or both sides of the fair was going and now it’s only on one side. Going to the Pizza Palace after the fair. That is the best pizza and onion rings around. Orange Julius was next door with the coolest big orange for a sign. That was great times. Have a blessed day!
My father in Law made the biscuits, every Sunday. I miss those breakfasts. I miss his big loud laugh, my in laws were just like parents the way they took me in and taught this city girl, all the country ways. I later learned that my mohter and sister in law had bets on how long I would last.
I remember a better county fair when I was a kid.. It was during cool eather month... I love butter beans. I never tried planting them. nteresting and a fantastic ideal... I'm gonna try it in a planter, wish me luck..😊 I am visually impaied.. Your channel is the most interesting program I've ever had a chance to get acquainted with, thank you so much I appreciate it..❤
She is correct about the County Fairs. I quit attending any County Fairs. I don't think anyone who now attends (or works) at the County Fair has ever seen a real County Fair. The old County Fairs was a place to compare, learn, listen, buy new stock, buy new seeds, buy new tools, and visit with people we didn't get to see very often. TRAP is the best name for the County Fairs held here today. They are only held to get your money. A bottle of water will cost you over a dollar. NOTE: The sound track messed up on this video (after an ad). The sound is so fast that I did not understand what was being said (from just before the horse racing on).
probably a RUclips glitch, I watched it after reading your comment and it played fine. maybe give it another try and let me know if its still causing issues. Thanks!
The last good fair I’ve been to was in 2008. It was tiny in a small town I was working in. They had a chainsaw competition you could enter for 10$. I won a brand new 600$ saw. It was fun. Kids had a blast.
😂😂😂 Reminds me of when I learned that a can of biscuits was called Whop Biscuits. She said they called them that because you Whop them on the counters edge." 😂😂😂
Granny is right October is best to have the county fair. I remember the picnics and hayrides and all the games like three leg races and tug a war with men falling into the mud. Today it's all about making money with $25 entry fees and then you have to pay for the rides too. It just doesn't feel like a community any more, sad 😞
My papaw had peach, pear, persimmon, and paw paw trees.. not to mention hickory walnut and chestnut trees.. with his garden, and if he caught a groundhog down in the holler, there was no need to go to the walmart.. we had meat and all the vegetables we needed.
OMG I was just talking about the 7-up Biscuits the other day. Is that what you're talking about when you say "Soda Biscuits"? They're so good. Moist. They keep longer than a regular biscuit.
Only thing I like better than snake stories is one that involves horses, which for many years since my childhood played a major part in my own life. One time I was out bareback going cross country when something spooked the green filly I was riding. She spun around and took off for home like lightning. I was hanging half off her and would've ditched except she was going like the wind and I'd have fallen right under her hooves. Y'see, I wound up with my right foot hooked over her withers, both legs and arms locked around her neck, and my face tight up against her left ear. The fact that I kept screaming "Save me, Jesus!" at the top of my lungs did nothing to slow her down. I rode home at least a mile in that situation, and every one of the few neighbors on our road came out to see. They teased me plenty about it too, later on. But when the terror wore off, I decided to be proud bc most people wouldn't have survived. I was also fortunate that the filly didn't decide to take another sharp turn or skid to a halt somewhere, bc that road had been packed down like concrete over the years. So maybe Jesus did hear me that day. He would've had to be deaf not to.

Nothing better than waking up at noon, making breakfast..ehh no lunch I guess..and then finding a brand new video from your favourite storyteller

Granny had it right about the difference between fairs of the past and modern day ones. Good clean fun back then.

He said, "aw, we don't need one of those, besides I already have a bean sheller at home!" as he nudged me with his elbow and gave me a wink. I had forgotten about that memory until I read your post about the pressure cooker. Thank you for that
Enjoyed as always, JD
Thanks so much John!
Makes me think we had grannies of similar ways, thanks for sharing, and bringing that sweetness to my day. I truly hope you know your worth and that you treat yourself accordingly, goodness knows the world won't! God bless
Thank you so much for that comment Rhonda really brighten my day
Morning JD, another great story that brought back sweet memories. I loved county fairs and carried it over to my own kids. Now it's the state fairs for me. Y'all stay safe out there my friends 🙏
Morning big iron, I love those state fairs too brother
I love the stories with Granny.
Thank you JD ❤
Thank you ❤️
Hello JD! Fairs are not what they used to be when I was a kid. No wooden roller coaster either or both sides of the fair was going and now it’s only on one side.
Going to the Pizza Palace after the fair. That is the best pizza and onion rings around. Orange Julius was next door with the coolest big orange for a sign. That was great times.
Have a blessed day!
You said it Willow! Have a blessed day
Great story.

❤Thank you❤
Thank you Rebekah! Have a blessed day my friend
My father in Law made the biscuits, every Sunday.
I miss those breakfasts. I miss his big loud laugh, my in laws were just like parents the way they took me in and taught this city girl, all the country ways.
I later learned that my mohter and sister in law had bets on how long I would last.
my dad made biscuits too! He called them "Cathead Biscuits" and they were big as your fist. One biscuit was an entire meal by itself!
Loved it! Thank you, JD.
Thank you so much. This is a great story.
I love your stories
Thank you Janet!
I love the stories you tell.
Thank you Jane!
I really want to go and see a County Fair like this 😊
those were the days!
Just love these! You da best, thanks JD❤
😊
Love these stories 🙏🏾
Glad you like them!
Makes so much sense about goin to the Fair in October 😁👍🏽
I wonder when they changed it to Summertime 🤔
Have you got the recipe for those panfried biscuits?
Sound delicious, I'd like to make some☺️💕
I actually just my dads recipe for what he called “cat head” biscuits
I remember a better county fair when I was a kid.. It was during cool eather month... I love butter beans. I never tried planting them. nteresting and a fantastic ideal... I'm gonna try it in a planter, wish me luck..😊
I am visually impaied.. Your channel is the most interesting program I've ever had a chance to get acquainted with, thank you so much I appreciate it..❤
Thank you so much!
She is correct about the County Fairs. I quit attending any County Fairs. I don't think anyone who now attends (or works) at the County Fair has ever seen a real County Fair. The old County Fairs was a place to compare, learn, listen, buy new stock, buy new seeds, buy new tools, and visit with people we didn't get to see very often. TRAP is the best name for the County Fairs held here today. They are only held to get your money. A bottle of water will cost you over a dollar. NOTE: The sound track messed up on this video (after an ad). The sound is so fast that I did not understand what was being said (from just before the horse racing on).
probably a RUclips glitch, I watched it after reading your comment and it played fine. maybe give it another try and let me know if its still causing issues. Thanks!
You should tell the story of the pound gap massacre. It involved my family/moonshine, and one bad man
I put it in my future story ideas folder. thanks for the suggestion
Great to hear it said as biscuits. Biscuits are not cookies... Cookies are cookies and biscuits are biscuits
Well, said my friend thanks for tuning in
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller You're welcome. I have been binging quite a few videos, as you can tell
Good morning Jd
Mornin
The last good fair I’ve been to was in 2008. It was tiny in a small town I was working in. They had a chainsaw competition you could enter for 10$. I won a brand new 600$ saw. It was fun. Kids had a blast.
Awesome
😂😂😂 Reminds me of when I learned that a can of biscuits was called Whop Biscuits. She said they called them that because you Whop them on the counters edge." 😂😂😂
exactly!
❤❤
Granny is right the fair is not as good as it once was, as she said to early and to hot
Granny is right October is best to have the county fair. I remember the picnics and hayrides and all the games like three leg races and tug a war with men falling into the mud. Today it's all about making money with $25 entry fees and then you have to pay for the rides too. It just doesn't feel like a community any more, sad 😞
absolutely true!
My papaw had peach, pear, persimmon, and paw paw trees.. not to mention hickory walnut and chestnut trees.. with his garden, and if he caught a groundhog down in the holler, there was no need to go to the walmart.. we had meat and all the vegetables we needed.
OMG I was just talking about the 7-up Biscuits the other day. Is that what you're talking about when you say "Soda Biscuits"? They're so good. Moist. They keep longer than a regular biscuit.
Yup! That’s the biscuits!
Yeah and the old men going to the hooch cooch show 😊
👏👏👏♥️♥️♥️
Thank you!
You’re are so welcome 🤗
Yummy Grub 😊
I can't see that guy's picture without thinking about him being a land thief that cant be trusted.
Only thing I like better than snake stories is one that involves horses, which for many years since my childhood played a major part in my own life. One time I was out bareback going cross country when something spooked the green filly I was riding. She spun around and took off for home like lightning. I was hanging half off her and would've ditched except she was going like the wind and I'd have fallen right under her hooves. Y'see, I wound up with my right foot hooked over her withers, both legs and arms locked around her neck, and my face tight up against her left ear. The fact that I kept screaming "Save me, Jesus!" at the top of my lungs did nothing to slow her down. I rode home at least a mile in that situation, and every one of the few neighbors on our road came out to see. They teased me plenty about it too, later on. But when the terror wore off, I decided to be proud bc most people wouldn't have survived. I was also fortunate that the filly didn't decide to take another sharp turn or skid to a halt somewhere, bc that road had been packed down like concrete over the years. So maybe Jesus did hear me that day. He would've had to be deaf not to.
that sounds like a heck of a ride for sure!
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller - One I don't care to repeat. I love my Jesus and all, but I don't want to meet him that way. :p
