The Neshoba County Fair, also known as Mississippi's Giant House Party, is an annual event of agricultural, political, and social entertainment held a few miles from Philadelphia, Mississippi. The fair was first established in 1889 and is the nation's largest campground fair. The event usually starts at the end of July lasting a week. ==History== The first fair was called the Coldwater Fair with roots in church camp meetings.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 Neshoba County Fair - Philadelphia, Mississippi ) 〕
One of the Fair's most well-known traditions (100 plus years) occurs during election season, when elected officials and candidates from across the state attend the fair to campaign. A number of candidates have made appearances at the fair, including Ronald Reagan and John Glenn. Iris Kelso, a Nesohoba County native and a journalist in New Orleans, often wrote about the fair in her columns and later in her television commentary.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Iris Turner Kelso: Introduction )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Neshoba County Fair」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
