[RA: Yep, because calling it the "Fainting Goat Festival" just wasn't enough to draw people out of the hills. But "Music" and "More" -- now there's something special!]

Come to the Goats, Music and More Festival in Lewisburg, Tennessee (located in Marshall County home of the Fainting Goat) on October 11, 2003. This is the first year for the festival. In the 1880s, a man named Tinsley came to Marshall County, Tennesse with three "bulgy" eyed goats and a "sacred cow." He left, but sold his goats. This festival celebrates these unique animals along with other breeds of goat. There will be a fainting goat show/sale as well as a boer goat show/sale. Activities include, acoustic pickin' tent, children's activities, craft show, flea market, musical bands, storytellers, food and more.. [Matt Lewis, 09/02/2003]

[RA: We once visited a Fainting Goats farm in Montana, but we had no idea the bulgy-eyed bovids were also in Tennessee.]
