Because in rural Missouri, everything’s better with fresh cooked bacon (rinds).
In case you can’t read the sign, you can get capuccino at the bacon rind booth, as well as hot chocolate and hot apple cider.

Get your mind out of the gutter! I’m talking about 12 inches of the best meat in the Midwest. Not that kind of meat, people.

Ice Cream or Animal Feed? photo by smalltowngirl
Petting zoos are such odd things. Can you imagine trucking your camels and llamas and goats around to fairs and festival and carnivals, charging a nominal feel to let people pet them?

This particular mobile petting zoo was set up at – you guessed it – the Kimmswick Apple Butter Festival. Camels and goats and llamas, oh my! I’m not sure how much they were charging kids to go through the petting zoo, but for just $1.00 extra, parents could buy an ice cream cone filled with animal feed. How many kids do you think ate the animal feed that day? Small town Missouri, please continue to delight me with your oddities!

The Apple Butter Festival is a huge, two-day festival every October in historic Kimmswick, Missouri. This year was my first time attending, and I was impressed by the size of the event. Hundreds of food and craft vendors set up tents, the Blue Owl served food in and outside of the restaurant, Kimmswick’s shops were open for business, and live music was playing all day long.

Of all that the festival had to offer, I think that it’s train was the most unique thing. The train offered rides around the festival to kids and adults.

The train engineer was a very friendly older man with an adorable puppy.
“Them’s some fancy boots you’re wearing”, he said to me. I thanked him and asked for permission to photograph him with his dog.

Just in case anyone’s wondering what’s on my holiday wish-list, I think it’s safe to say that I need one of these blue-eyed fish-faced things. I don’t know what they are, but if this dude drove all the way to Kimmswick, Missouri from Florida to sell them, I most certainly need one.

Saturday and Sunday, October 24th and 25th were the annual Kimmswick, Missouri Apple Butter Festival. As a self-proclaimed expert in all things small town Missouri, I put on my rockin’ cowboy boots, grabbed my camera, and made my way to Kimmswick, Missouri.
I parked at Windsor High School and walked the 1.5 miles or so from the high school to the festival. It was a beautiful fall day, and the walk was a welcomed reprieve from the hours each week I spend sitting at my desk and in my car.

I’ve made some pretty corny (get it, hehe) jokes in my blog this fall about corn on the cob, kettle corn, candy corn, and small town fall festivals. Much to my delight, one of the first booths I came across at the Apple Butter Festival was an Old Tyme Kettle Corn booth. I took this next photo with you, my a-maize-ingly dedicated readers, in mind.

In case you’ve missed my corny fall festival posts, check out my corn on the cob in the news, and my kettle corn contemplation at Sprottfest.
The Apple Butter Festival was huge by small town standards, and I got a slew of good pictures. Come back later this week for more Apple Butter posts!
