Elkton Bike Night and the Todd County Hay Bale Tour

After living in Tennessee for the last 25 years I have developed a growing distrust of the Kentuckians that reside across a border only 9 miles away.  They invade our state every so often wearing that god awful Kentucky Wildcat Blue.  Being a casual Vanderbilt Fan I have attended a Commodore VS Wildcat basketball game, seeing that obnoxious sea of blue I became exacerbated.  In a up swell of growing rage I proclaimed build a wall and make those Kentuckians pay for it.

This though has all changed.  Lately I have grown to love our neighbors to the North, where we now cautiously travel every so often.  Terri's favorite quilt shop, Golden Threads is in Trenton. It is a small town where you can get a bite eat at the Black Sheep Bistro , where the Barbecue is to die for.  Now there is a new knitting store called the Wooded Needle which I'm sure now will end up with some of the Anderson family wealth.,

We also enjoy the Thursday Night Bike Nights in Elkton which is in the county seat of Todd County. It is a ritual to ride to Elkton have dinner and enjoy the impromptu bike show and the many restaurants on the town square. The bike nights run from May to October every Thursday night.  This last with week was extra special because of the Todd County Harvest Festival which includes the Hale Bale tour.

During the last week of September the residents of Todd County decorate Hay Bales as different characters.  It is interesting seeing Steve Wonder saying "Hay!!"and sheep made out of hay saying Hay EWE!!!  For a quick view of all the Hay look on www.exploretoddcounty.com to see whats happening in Todd County.   So check it out Todd County it's a happening place.
