If you're free September 27th and 28th and can get yourself to Lewisburg, Tennessee, I highly suggest you check out "Goats Music and More," the world's only festival celebrating fainting goats. Also called "nervous goats" or "wooden leg goats," this special breed is prone to panic attacks. When an episode occurs, all the fainting goat's muscles freeze and become so stiff that he falls over. The syndrome is most common among the younger of the nervous goats. When they get older and wiser, they sometimes can brace themselves against a barn or a fence.
The festival takes place in an area of Tennessee where these neurotic, little goats originated. According to the festival's website, the slate of fun includes plenty of goat displays, food, arts & crafts, childrens' activities, and "acoustic, bluegrass, country, and rock and roll music." As if this wasn't enough, the festival is free.
And come one, where else can you see The Charlie Daniels Band AND fainting goat shows in one venue?
