In reply to cdmiller07. The event itself is called Hillbilly Days. You really need to Google Hillbilly Days, Pikeville. There's a video that will help to explain it. :)

In reply to cdmiller07. It's April 24-26th. Not good timing for us...too close to wheat seeding.

In reply to cdmiller07. Exactly! :) When we talked with our daughter's landlords, they said nobody can really drive anywhere in town. It's just packed with hillbilly's, and hillbilly wanna-be's.

In reply to cdmiller07. Apparently, this town of 6000 swells to well over 100,000 for a few days during their Hillbilly Days. That would be a sight!

In reply to cdmiller07. The area where we were was pretty modern...but we were told stories of people that are still pretty backwards. A waitress told us about a village that was recently found where all of the people still spoke old English. :)
