5 More Neshoba County Fair Cabins Burn

For the first time in 116 years, a fair cabin burned in June of this year. Saturday night around midnight 5 more cabins in the newest section caught fire to bring to 6 the total of cabins burned this summer. Of the six, four of the cabins suffered fire damage while 2 were destroyed. As much damage as it is, many cabin owners are lucky that the flames were contained in the fires and that more cabins were not destroyed. The other good news for the cabin owners who lost their cabins is that they will have plenty of time to rebuild before the Fair kicks off next year, as demonstrated by the fact that the cabin that suffered fire damage in June was ready to go for last week's week-long houseparty.

For anyone who has never been to the Neshoba County Fair, you definitely should try to make the trip next year. The dates will be July 21 - July 28, 2006.
