I buy a Season Pass. I pull in the Fairgrounds as soon as they open, 9:00 am. I go home at 11:00 pm when they close. Everyday they are open. I pick what competitions and Judgings I want to see, bands and functions and demonstrations, and tractor square dancing, real horse pulls, love the fair!
we're basically a bunch of chavs and farmers in our hearts over here. that's why we're up for the crazy things. oh and people die in bull riding. they get killed by the bulls or by falling off.
I still remember the 4H pledge after 15 years.. Americans really do love their pledges I pledge my head to clearer thinking, my heart to greater loyalty, my hands to larger service, and my health to better living, for my club, my community, my country, and my world
I'm old, and as soon as I hear, "Oh, say can you see", my right hand goes right to my heart, and I bow my head. Our county fair has carnival rides too.
Especially since so many of our basic values feel threatened. Playing the anthem (for which you must stand) and flying Old Glory is one way to push back.
Seen that at a county fair in Maine. It was extremely cool and they let you wander the stables, giving you perspective on how massive those animals are. Very impressive. Loved it.
The kiddie pig scramble is from the adult version of trying to catch a greased pig. In county fairs when America was a more agricultural nation the men would try and catch a fully grown greased pig. The prize was they won the pig. This helped add to the food supply of the family.
@@pamelalandon2423 You might be talking people in the field year around. Not all farming is in the field or livestock houses. Everything from the person making lunch for the workers to the IT man working on the computer systems for pig houses or fishery sheds. Each one is just as important as the one driving the harvester, drying the corn, hauling the grain, etc.

@@karenshepherd2412 good question I would imagine a bush hog on a tractor that's how we do my friends property, but it's like 20 acres. We only use the Ford tractor on about 2-5 acres and where we hunt.

We make SUN TEA here on the Reservation! It’s sweet tea but you let the tea roast in the sun (in the summer) and in the evening bring the tea inside the house and add lots of sugar and lots of ice cubes and you’re ready to serve the best ice tea ever 23:14
My grandma used to make sun tea. It was the best tea ever! I loved sitting in her yard watching the sun hit the big glass jar and watching the tea slowly come out of the bags. She had that jar for years and was still using it until she passed away. ❤
@@Musicislife477 so cool! That’s exactly my experience! Seeing a clear glass pitcher turn into a brown tea over time was magical! But the taste was bar none!
my grandma used to do this, ill do it next summer, my mom was too worried about it being tampered with :( which is a valid concern honestly, and yes it was dangerous in the area so I understood but now it's a nice area so maybe we could make some sun tea, it's my favorite
I won a pig scramble in 1986. The difference was there was only one pig. The winner got to keep to pig. My mom refused to let me keep it, so I had to give it to a farmer. 😂
You just made me remember more than 50 years ago, my family went to a rodeo. There was a pig scramble and I SO wanted to take part and win a pig, but my parents wouldn't let me 'cos we live in the city. I was probably six or seven.
@@Hughjanus454 Because that wouldn't have traumatized a city kid! 😂 We grew up in the 'burbs and once my sister went for dinner at her friend's house. She lived on the edge of town on a tiny farm. My sister said she enjoyed the food and asked what it was. "Fluffy." I don't actually know the name, but it was the friend's rabbit. My sister was mortified hahah... she was only 10! Years later my sister said, "It was actually pretty good and I feel like I should feel guilty."
I always feel pride and love when we sing the anthem… also we play the Canadian anthem at games vs Canadian teams. And we all know their anthem as well and sing it. 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 respect 🫡
We Americans sing the National Anthem and the Pledge of Allegiance at so many events is because we‘ve seen how quickly and easily it can be lost (freedom) and how difficult and hard it is to get it. In fact, it was not easy for us to get it in the first place. We don’t want to ever lose it! Even a little bit!
No, it's literally just propaganda to engrain loyalty to the state in you from a young age. Its brainwashing. Our country has no problem taking away freedom from anyone at any time.
I'm kinda old now but I still remember when I was a kid, long before cable TV when there were only 3 channels, broadcasting ended at midnight with the National Anthem, the test pattern with a tone, then static and 'snow.' Expensive lawnmowers have a zero-turn feature. Very cool. EDIT: We still have electric push mowers but we also have electric outlets around the house's exterior and very long extension cords. We don't plug them into an outlet inside the house.
Even if you have no use for a $23K super mower, it sure is fun to sit in the seat and dream, innit? Just mowing the lawn at South Fork, Mr. JR Ewing. I'll get the job done. Lucas Jade has two more properties he needs mowin. Can you get 'r done by sundown? I'll do my best, JR.
Tractor Pulls were started in Italy by Feruccio Lamborghini (yes THAT Lamborghini) to prove how powerful his tractors were versus the competition. And yes Lambo is known for building tractors.
Deep fried pickles are so good and great with a spicy ranch sauce! When I was a kid we had a 10 acre yard and we would have to cut 6 acres of it weekly. We HAD to have a riding mower. It still took 3.5-4 hours to cut it all. I would put on some headphones and listen to music and sing along. Thankfully we had no neighbors close by. 😂
I love the fact that you enjoy this.i have a neighbor who is a black man he farms ranches hunts has butcher shop ect and he and his family have large influence in bringing awareness to blacks in the industry.His name is Mr.Bradford great family.
This video triggers memories. I was huge into 4-H as a kid/teen. Entered a LOT of crafts and art into the fair. And won my share of ribbons, too. Wasn't into the animal showing, but tried to grow pumpkins once. (It did not go well. Tiniest pumpkins ever.) The "jail" reminds me of something they used to do at the local rodeo. You'd be put in "jail" and couldn't come out until you raised enough money. It was a fundraiser event, so all in good fun. The "prisoners" had a blast acting silly while behind bars. No "scare kids straight" angle. Just a fun fundraiser for the Cattlemans Association.
My grandpa was a supervisor in a cotton mill when he was " arrested " by the County Deputees and put in a mock cell . His coworkers got to laugh at him then raise his bail . The proceeds went to charity . He had a good laugh about it .
@@traciemcdaniel3660 alot of children enjoy dressing up, problem is as in many things in the US like kids sports the parents ruin it by pushing their kids too far and dressing them in such a way as to gain shock value
Lol, dirt was once most American children's first toy! Girls would get old baking pans and make mud pies with sticks for cake candles and boys would just do anything but that with dirt.
Lewis, apparently it's not done in the UK anymore, but there was a time when "God Save The Queen" was played in movie theaters after the main feature film, and after stage plays in the West End.
As a southerner I can confirm your accuracy, it's gotten even sweeter the last few years, I have to get mine half sweet, half unsweetened to even be able to tolerate it. Literally sweeter than koolade 😢
We not only have county fairs, but state fairs as well. They are huge! You can spend all day at the North Carolina State Fair and not visit everything there is to see. You can hardly walk twenty feet without seeing a food truck. There is also a long building with one restaurant after another. If that's not enough, there are exhibits showing different kinds of foods run by companies or individuals who also sell their food. The fairgrounds cover 344 acres, not counting the majority of parking. Most of that is done outside the fairgrounds.
The fireworks remind me of when Santa Claus comes riding around local neighborhoods on firetrucks at Christmas time, throwing out candy to all the kids. That’s one of the small treasures I love about America.
At 8 and 9 years old my brother and I were allowed loose on our dirt bikes to tear around the thousands of acres of state land surrounding us. We limped home injured more than once 😂! I have the scars that prove it. What a blast and blessed way to grow up!
We have a fundraiser called Cow Partty Bingo where a field is divided into squares with numbers. People bid on a number. They release a cow and whatever square is 💩 on, that person wins half the pot of $. Also, we do Punkin Chunkin where people design catapults to launch pumpkins the furtherest. I don’t know if either of those are done outside of the USA, but they’re pretty common in the rural areas- at least in my area.
I always thought all the countries played their national anthem like we do. Thats weird to think that not every country does this. This is one if the many reasons I watch ur videos. I have learned so much about the UK from you!!
That's crazy Nixon pulled us from Nam also Watergate. The CIA are actually the ones who broke in, and stole paperwork. You don't mess with the military industrial complex.
My county in Wisconsin is very rural- 816 sq mi (2,110 km2) with a pop. of 31,000. The county is home to the headquarters of Organic Valley, the world's largest cooperative of family farmers. An 8,600 acre Wildlife preserve, a 3,600 State Park and 8 other county parks and campgrounds. Our County Fair is a HUGE deal. Last year had over 25,000 in paid attendance over 5 days.
The Pig Scramble "it's like trying to catch a greased pig" is an American saying. So, that's what they do. It is hilarious to watch, even more fun to play.
Most Americans are patriotic. ❤ We have country fairs in rural areas all over the U.S. Mutton busting trains future bull and Bronc riders. He was referring to a beauty pageant for different age girls and young women. It’s similar to Miss Universe but only for fairs. Fried pickles are sooo good. Generally pickle spears dipped in a breading usually with seasoning and dill then fried.
Back when I graduated, some of the farm boys brought greased about 150 pound each pigs to the high school. They put painted big numbers on their sides. They put them in the halls at different doors around the school. That was a Senior prank. The adult leaders at school ran after them trying to catch them. It took them a couple hours and they caught pig, 1, 2,4, and 5. They spent a good half an hour looking for pig 3...there was no pig 3, they only did 4 pigs and left out a pig with 3 painted on it. On those mowers, you can get some for less than $5,000.00 for a smaller amount of land to mow. Some of those were more for commercial mowers. I know folks that mow for a living, some do just residential and some will do large land areas, like for a company. Maintain the lawn and bushes and such.
Americans have Freedom from day "1". We don't "bow", or bend a knee to any Leader, Royal, Lord. In school, we pledged, Loyalty and honor to our Flag. Every morning
County fairs, festivals, parades, craft shows, food events, rodeos, horseshows, car racing, car shows, amuesment parks, casinos, national parks, etc. The List goes on what you can experience in upstate central NY. ❤🙌
Thank you. Forgive this guy. He's from New Joyzee. Tomatillos are from the tomato family. They have a paper like covering you peal off. It's like a goose berry. You steep them in water with chicken bullion, when soft, stick them in a blender with white onion, shared and peeled chili's, garlic and cilantro and blend. SOOOO good. It's basically a green Salsa, salsa verde, for tacos, tamales, chili, and enchilada's.
@@karenshepherd2412yeah I don’t think this guy have ever been to a county fair before. He’s very clearly a city boy. That being said, thanks for the education, I’m not all that knowledgeable on veggies/foods, so interesting to learn something new.
@@csailer2353 he also moved to the UK so long ago he gets a lot wrong about current American things, and for some reason thinks all of his experiences are universal. I found him really hard to watch as I couldn't relate at all.
They play our national anthem at the drive-in movie theater here. Right before the first movie plays, the national anthem gets played. You will see it almost everywhere in the U.S. but you will see it more in smaller towns along with praying before events.
At local fairs here in Michigan, you could have the "cops" put someone in the "jail" for a couple bucks, and at the end it went to a charity. When it comes to rodeo, we have a saying; "You gonna cowboy up, or just lay there bleeding"; ie are you gonna get up and shake it off, or are you a p*ssy. Farm work is hard and dangerous, and kids learn to ignore bumps and scrapes pretty young.
I'm surprised to see that New Jersey has this style of fair and rodeo. This is something that you would definitely see in Texas or somewhere like that.
You see these type of fairs, agricultural, quite a bit in New York state, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. I'm surprised there are these types of fairs in New Jersey, too, though.
When i lived in Texas (born and raised) our high school had a rodeo. When my son was about 4, we went to an airshow southwest of Fort Worth that not only had airplanes but all kinds of tractors and farm machinery!!!
I don't know if you've seen this before, but we also have a drink called the Arnold Palmer which is sweet, iced tea mixed with the lemonade, and it is delicious. you can also spruce it up by throwing in some liquor of your choice but usually whiskey or rum in my experience.
9:37 I grew up playing ice hockey, and we often played the anthem before games. If we played against a Canadian team, we played both “Star Spangled Banner” and “O Canada”. You also cracked me up with the lawnmowers. I have 5 acres at home and I use a lightweight tractor mower for it with a 52” cutting deck. That means with each pass I’m mowing about a 132cm swath of grass.
Lewis, it's not like they're riding sheep on concrete. They're on soft sand. The only risk would be if the sheep stepped on them. The kids also get to use both hands, unlike the bull riders. Good to see the bull riders wearing helmets though.
I live in the country and we ALL have lawn mowers like this lol. It is heaven you just put your earbuds in and drive, catch a little tan it is actually quite nice haha
At our county fair, we have an RV demolition derby, and "boat racing", where people hitch crappy boats to the backs of their cars/trucks, and race like NASCAR on a dirt track. Keep in mind, this is in an area with a very large lake.....the area is even called lake county. we could just do regular boat racing. Thats not Merica enough i guess 😂😂😂
What do you mean plugs I live on 1.5 I've seen electric gardening tools but never a mower. Is it like a electric riding mower? we got a 0 turn. Back in the day we had regular riding mowers like JD, or snapper.
In Tucson AZ we have Rodeo Weekend, a holiday. The banks close, everyone gets a paid holiday. There is a parade. In the Spring we have the County Fair with a traveling Carnival combo. At ours, there is all this and rides... Ferris Wheel, kiddie rides, scary rides, fun houses, etc. There are local bands and famous Singers/ Bands booked for each day. People sit on the ground picnic style and enjoy the music. This is the "red cup" area where beer is sold and you get a band on your wrist showing you are of age to drink alcohol.
0:39 that is what we call a funnel cake. They pour pancake batter in a deep fryer through a funnel. It turns into a coily greasy ropes all tangled together. When it comes out of the fryer its covered with powder sugar on top. First bite is the best thing you ever tasted, but finishing a funnel cake turns quite difficult at the end inexplicably. Theyre served at fairs and festivals. Theyre actually quite easy to make if you can get a big deep fryer in the uk.
lol homeboy said vag 😅 what is more unbelievable is the lack of pride in the UK been watching your videos for a minute, but the consistency of you saying the lack of pride amazes me bro signed me up. I’m ready to fight for my country right now. That’s crazy dog. You guys need to be more friendly with each other. Give a random person a hug hold the door open for another person maybe even pay for their coffee or tea that’s crazy dude I couldn’t live like that, bro.
Dude!! The riding lawnmowers are essential here it the USA, my neighbor had his license taken away for drinking and driving, so now he just drives his lawnmower anywhere he needs!😂😂😂 Which is also illegal if you lose your license. He spends half the day driving and doing figure 8's. We live out in the country! Seeing a man driving on a lawnmower drunk and being pulled over by the police is EPIC!😂😂😂 P S, I Miss the UK. I lived in Littlehampton, West Sussex for 3 years. ❤
The Mutton busting and greased piglets are actually useful. The mutton busting, trains young folk, for later rodeo work, the piglets is to teach them how to catch pigs.
I dont know if you know what all is going on across the pond but I wanted to tell you that you save me every night from jumping off a freaking cliff. You make me laugh so good. I don’t laugh too much. So thanks man!😊
10:39 pageants are a bonding time between mothers and daughters where they play dress up and work with each other. There are dads that go and support their daughters there during the event so ppl watching from the outside judge it knowing some men can be monsters. There are also mothers that get carried away. Just as there are fathers that get carried away with their sons in sports.
The funniest and most fun thing you'll see at a rodeo is muttin' bustin'! I'm in Texas so they take it seriously, these kids are just playin' around. I've seen 4 year olds go the entire length of the arena with the clowns chasing after.
yeh, i'm from alabama, and this reminded me of back when i went to the state fair and a 'red' state rather than nj. and the reason i say that's the prayer, anthem, flags everywhere, music, and such, which many northern states aren't prone to do.
Sweet tea:1 make a pitcher of hot tea. 2 add sugar till it tastes sweet. 3 add a bit more sugar, and some lemon juice. 4 chill in fridge. 5 pour over large glass full of ice.
We have a greased (actually greased) pig contest for 4 different age groups in,our area every year. Which ever child catches the pig gets to keep it. They are not piglets, but a “normal” sized pig. So 4 pigs are given out because of 4 age groups. It is hysterical to watch, and great fun!
The sauce with the fried pickles is called Fry Sauce. Its Mayonnaise, ketchup and a dash of mustard. Super easy to make. 50/50 Mayo to ketchup then ad mustard to your taste.
I live in a city so my 0.5 acre lot seems a bit generous compared to many newer neighborhoods but it's still not huge by any means and it's split between the front and back pretty evenly. When we first moved in EVERYONE was telling my husband he needed a riding mower! I didn't think so, but I told my husband it's his choice because he's the one who will be mowing. He decided to just get the push mower and if he hates it he'll upgrade in a few years. It is self propelled and all that good stuff, and it only takes him 2hrs to mow the whole yard. I'm so glad he didn't waste thousands on a riding mower tbh lol and he weirdly really enjoys mowing! He likes being right on the ground to move things out of the way or whatever. Growing up I had family with many acres and they always said you don't need a riding mower unless you have an acre or more. But if I had that, I'd have goats honey! I wouldn't be mowing! 😂
I love looking at his videos! It lets me see we take a lot of things for granted. I can't believe how he tripped out on the riding lawnmowers. 😂😂😂😂😂 That's so interesting.
When I was a kid in England in the late 1960s, they would play God Save The Queen and everyone would stand at the cinema before the movie started. Longer movies also had an intermission when snack girls would walk up and down the aisles with a tray loaded with sweets and ice lollies you could buy. A lot has changed
When we lived in the UK back in the 90’s we went quite a few county shows. They were mainly classic steam powered tractors and other farming equipment. It was fun and interesting for us Americans.
We had 3 acres in western NC where it rained almost daily during the summer months. Believe me, you needed a riding mower & most of the day each Saturday to mow & weedeat.
When I was a kid the local town celebration was the Irrigation Festival (long story) but there was a parade featuring the Irrigation Festival Queen. She was known among us kids as the ditch witch.😂
Great video as always Lewis. You should look up some videos on tractor pulls. They get ridiculous. From the Midwest and we do all this stuff just way bigger.
Yeah, I can’t get behind pageantry either. When little girls get dressed up like little Miss Americas with full make up And have a beauty contest. A big NO from me. 😬
Those lawn mowers were all zero turn mowers which many people still consider to be "commercial" mowers although more & more homeowners are buying them. We have acres of grass to mow so we have one. They are better than conventional riding mowers because of their extremely tight turning radius. They greatly reduce the amount of string trimming required to keep a lawn looking neat.
Yo Bro, LOL!! There was a meme 20yrs ago, of all these hot chicks crowding around a farmer on his big tractor, when they foud out that his big tractor cost more than a Lambo. 😆
The pig scramble at our county fair is much different. They have a set number of pigs, usually about 10. And high school girls go out and try to catch the pigs and take them to a circle in the field. The ones that catch the pigs, then are given a pig, approximately 3 to 4 months before the next fair starts to raise and show in a special class at the fair. We also have a calf scramble in which high school boys have to halter a calf and drag it to a circle in the field to win that calf. Then they get to raise the calf for a year to show in the next year’s county fair. We do also have a kiddy pig chase, which is very similar to what they showed except there are multiple classes based on age and the winner of each class gets a brand new bicycle.

I have an acre. No push mower. We need big lawn mowers.
as far as frying goes, we learned from the scots and the english.
You have to understand these kids are not forced to do this. This is just life for them.
They get upset when they outgrow it.
Not to mention, country kids are just built different. Most of those kids are probably wanting to grow up to be bull riders themselves!
Iam sure they have fallen from higher places at play grounds and parks. A critter is no different..

National Anthem is sang and played at all sporting events, and most other competitions. Very proud to be American here and taught young
Especially since so many of our basic values feel threatened. Playing the anthem (for which you must stand) and flying Old Glory is one way to push back.
I think we should change our anthem to "America the Beautiful" !
Some places instead of tractor pulls, they still do pulls with heavy draft horses. Those teams are amazing.
I saw one once that used teams of oxen.
Seen that at a county fair in Maine. It was extremely cool and they let you wander the stables, giving you perspective on how massive those animals are. Very impressive. Loved it.

Definitely not the PBR, but most small fairs don’t have the dangerous bulls or great riders

My sister said she enjoyed the food and asked what it was. "Fluffy." I don't actually know the name, but it was the friend's rabbit. My sister was mortified hahah... she was only 10! Years later my sister said, "It was actually pretty good and I feel like I should feel guilty."
I always feel pride and love when we sing the anthem… also we play the Canadian anthem at games vs Canadian teams. And we all know their anthem as well and sing it. 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 respect 🫡
Hockey ?
Speak for yourself. Idk the Canadian anthem and neither do anyone Ik. We're all in the Midwest.
We Americans sing the National Anthem and the Pledge of Allegiance at so many events is because we‘ve seen how quickly and easily it can be lost (freedom) and how difficult and hard it is to get it. In fact, it was not easy for us to get it in the first place.
We don’t want to ever lose it! Even a little bit!
No, it's literally just propaganda to engrain loyalty to the state in you from a young age. Its brainwashing. Our country has no problem taking away freedom from anyone at any time.
I love county fairs. We have rodeos, tractor pulls, and a demolition derbys. Mutton bustin and pig scramble are hilarious to watch.
I LOVE demolition derbys! It’s been years since I’ve seen one, they’re so fun! ☺️
@Musicislife477 They are fun, but you'll get pelted with mud if you're too close. LOL
Don't forget the monster trucks
I can’t believe you’ve never seen a riding mower. Lol
When I worked on a Christmas tree farm I drove a riding lawn mower A LOT!
The ones pictured were 0-turn mowers. Some refer to large lawn mowers as lawn tractors.
I’m pretty darn sure he’s seen them before in multitudes of videos, he’s just playing dumb.
My 3 year old son can drive a Tractor Mower like a freaking champ, he’s been obsessed with mowers since he entered this world 😂
@@thesimplesaguaro
Good for him! 😄 And good on you for teaching him well !👍
I'm kinda old now but I still remember when I was a kid, long before cable TV when there were only 3 channels, broadcasting ended at midnight with the National Anthem, the test pattern with a tone, then static and 'snow.'
Expensive lawnmowers have a zero-turn feature. Very cool.
EDIT: We still have electric push mowers but we also have electric outlets around the house's exterior and very long extension cords. We don't plug them into an outlet inside the house.
Even if you have no use for a $23K super mower, it sure is fun to sit in the seat and dream, innit?
Just mowing the lawn at South Fork, Mr. JR Ewing. I'll get the job done.
Lucas Jade has two more properties he needs mowin. Can you get 'r done by sundown?
I'll do my best, JR.
Tractor Pulls were started in Italy by Feruccio Lamborghini (yes THAT Lamborghini) to prove how powerful his tractors were versus the competition. And yes Lambo is known for building tractors.
Deep fried pickles are so good and great with a spicy ranch sauce!
When I was a kid we had a 10 acre yard and we would have to cut 6 acres of it weekly. We HAD to have a riding mower. It still took 3.5-4 hours to cut it all. I would put on some headphones and listen to music and sing along. Thankfully we had no neighbors close by. 😂
Deep fried pickles are surprisingly addictive. I didn't want to like them when I tried one, but they were just sitting there so...
I love the fact that you enjoy this.i have a neighbor who is a black man he farms ranches hunts has butcher shop ect and he and his family have large influence in bringing awareness to blacks in the industry.His name is Mr.Bradford great family.
This video triggers memories. I was huge into 4-H as a kid/teen. Entered a LOT of crafts and art into the fair. And won my share of ribbons, too. Wasn't into the animal showing, but tried to grow pumpkins once. (It did not go well. Tiniest pumpkins ever.)
The "jail" reminds me of something they used to do at the local rodeo. You'd be put in "jail" and couldn't come out until you raised enough money. It was a fundraiser event, so all in good fun. The "prisoners" had a blast acting silly while behind bars. No "scare kids straight" angle. Just a fun fundraiser for the Cattlemans Association.
Yeah. You pay to put someone in “jail” for fixed length of time. And they can pay to get out sooner. Purely a money raising diversion.
My grandpa was a supervisor in a cotton mill when he was " arrested " by the County Deputees and put in a mock cell . His coworkers got to laugh at him then raise his bail . The proceeds went to charity . He had a good laugh about it .
Pageantry is a beauty contest. They have a fair Queen

@@traciemcdaniel3660 alot of children enjoy dressing up, problem is as in many things in the US like kids sports the parents ruin it by pushing their kids too far and dressing them in such a way as to gain shock value

*There is nothing wrong with beauty pageants.* Only femnists hate them, because feminists hate all that is normal and proper.
That usually doesn’t happen at the county fair…those are the official pageants with $$$ and prizes
Lol, dirt was once most American children's first toy! Girls would get old baking pans and make mud pies with sticks for cake candles and boys would just do anything but that with dirt.
When it becomes mud and you squish your toes around in the mud.
Mud and cow pats!
Lewis, apparently it's not done in the UK anymore, but there was a time when "God Save The Queen" was played in movie theaters after the main feature film, and after stage plays in the West End.
Isn't there a tradition in the UK where you roll down a hill after a cheese wheel? And you think chasing pigs is weird? lol
Sweet tea in the South is REALLY sweet. Mind-numbingly sweet.
As a southerner I can confirm your accuracy, it's gotten even sweeter the last few years, I have to get mine half sweet, half unsweetened to even be able to tolerate it. Literally sweeter than koolade 😢
That’s why I have unsweetened iced tea!
@@aletmartins6940 I'm starting to do the same and just add my own 💯
I always get half sweet/half unsweetened tea. ❤ jenni from houston
We not only have county fairs, but state fairs as well. They are huge! You can spend all day at the North Carolina State Fair and not visit everything there is to see. You can hardly walk twenty feet without seeing a food truck. There is also a long building with one restaurant after another. If that's not enough, there are exhibits showing different kinds of foods run by companies or individuals who also sell their food. The fairgrounds cover 344 acres, not counting the majority of parking. Most of that is done outside the fairgrounds.
The fireworks remind me of when Santa Claus comes riding around local neighborhoods on firetrucks at Christmas time, throwing out candy to all the kids. That’s one of the small treasures I love about America.
At 8 and 9 years old my brother and I were allowed loose on our dirt bikes to tear around the thousands of acres of state land surrounding us. We limped home injured more than once 😂! I have the scars that prove it. What a blast and blessed way to grow up!
We have a fundraiser called Cow Partty Bingo where a field is divided into squares with numbers. People bid on a number. They release a cow and whatever square is 💩 on, that person wins half the pot of $.
Also, we do Punkin Chunkin where people design catapults to launch pumpkins the furtherest.
I don’t know if either of those are done outside of the USA, but they’re pretty common in the rural areas- at least in my area.
I always thought all the countries played their national anthem like we do. Thats weird to think that not every country does this. This is one if the many reasons I watch ur videos. I have learned so much about the UK from you!!
2:10 he has no idea who Richard Nixon was 😂
Are you kidding?
That's crazy Nixon pulled us from Nam also Watergate. The CIA are actually the ones who broke in, and stole paperwork. You don't mess with the military industrial complex.
I thought the same due to the lack of reaction. Lol
My county in Wisconsin is very rural- 816 sq mi (2,110 km2) with a pop. of 31,000. The county is home to the headquarters of Organic Valley, the world's largest cooperative of family farmers. An 8,600 acre Wildlife preserve, a 3,600 State Park and 8 other county parks and campgrounds. Our County Fair is a HUGE deal. Last year had over 25,000 in paid attendance over 5 days.
The Pig Scramble "it's like trying to catch a greased pig" is an American saying. So, that's what they do. It is hilarious to watch, even more fun to play.
Most Americans are patriotic. ❤ We have country fairs in rural areas all over the U.S. Mutton busting trains future bull and Bronc riders. He was referring to a beauty pageant for different age girls and young women. It’s similar to Miss Universe but only for fairs. Fried pickles are sooo good. Generally pickle spears dipped in a breading usually with seasoning and dill then fried.
Ive never had a spear. It's always been pickle chips. I made them once. I used tempura mix. They were pretty good, but messy
Back when I graduated, some of the farm boys brought greased about 150 pound each pigs to the high school. They put painted big numbers on their sides. They put them in the halls at different doors around the school. That was a Senior prank. The adult leaders at school ran after them trying to catch them. It took them a couple hours and they caught pig, 1, 2,4, and 5. They spent a good half an hour looking for pig 3...there was no pig 3, they only did 4 pigs and left out a pig with 3 painted on it.
On those mowers, you can get some for less than $5,000.00 for a smaller amount of land to mow. Some of those were more for commercial mowers. I know folks that mow for a living, some do just residential and some will do large land areas, like for a company. Maintain the lawn and bushes and such.
Americans have Freedom from day "1". We don't "bow", or bend a knee to any Leader, Royal, Lord. In school, we pledged, Loyalty and honor to our Flag. Every morning
Yes 👍
County fairs, festivals, parades, craft shows, food events, rodeos, horseshows, car racing, car shows, amuesment parks, casinos, national parks, etc. The List goes on what you can experience in upstate central NY. ❤🙌

5:04 While tomatillos are related to tomatoes they are not "green tomatoes".
Thank you. Forgive this guy. He's from New Joyzee. Tomatillos are from the tomato family. They have a paper like covering you peal off. It's like a goose berry. You steep them in water with chicken bullion, when soft, stick them in a blender with white onion, shared and peeled chili's, garlic and cilantro and blend. SOOOO good. It's basically a green Salsa, salsa verde, for tacos, tamales, chili, and enchilada's.
@@karenshepherd2412yeah I don’t think this guy have ever been to a county fair before. He’s very clearly a city boy.
That being said, thanks for the education, I’m not all that knowledgeable on veggies/foods, so interesting to learn something new.
@@csailer2353 he also moved to the UK so long ago he gets a lot wrong about current American things, and for some reason thinks all of his experiences are universal. I found him really hard to watch as I couldn't relate at all.
Thank you, that was driving me crazy.
I just had a bloomin’ onion the other day. It’s such a happy reunion of their deliciousness and my appreciation.
Fun video Lew! I used to show dogs in 4H and lambs in FFA!
When I was a kid and a teen I won all kids of awards in 4H and in FFA. I had so much fun doing these things and I still cherish every memory.
They play our national anthem at the drive-in movie theater here. Right before the first movie plays, the national anthem gets played. You will see it almost everywhere in the U.S. but you will see it more in smaller towns along with praying before events.
At local fairs here in Michigan, you could have the "cops" put someone in the "jail" for a couple bucks, and at the end it went to a charity. When it comes to rodeo, we have a saying; "You gonna cowboy up, or just lay there bleeding"; ie are you gonna get up and shake it off, or are you a p*ssy. Farm work is hard and dangerous, and kids learn to ignore bumps and scrapes pretty young.
I'm surprised to see that New Jersey has this style of fair and rodeo. This is something that you would definitely see in Texas or somewhere like that.
You see these type of fairs, agricultural, quite a bit in New York state, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. I'm surprised there are these types of fairs in New Jersey, too, though.
Every state has some kind of cattle ranching
It’s literally called the garden state.
@JustMe-dc6ks You're correct but it's not called the farm and ranch state
I'm from NJ and yes this is a normal county fair.
When i lived in Texas (born and raised) our high school had a rodeo. When my son was about 4, we went to an airshow southwest of Fort Worth that not only had airplanes but all kinds of tractors and farm machinery!!!
I live in Oklahoma, and this is just like the county fairs I have been to. I never would have thought they did this in New Jersey.
I don't know if you've seen this before, but we also have a drink called the Arnold Palmer which is sweet, iced tea mixed with the lemonade, and it is delicious. you can also spruce it up by throwing in some liquor of your choice but usually whiskey or rum in my experience.
Better when u make it yourself in the sun
The main reason the old tractors smoke so bad is because they don't have catalytic converters. That's what cars were like before cats.
9:37 I grew up playing ice hockey, and we often played the anthem before games. If we played against a Canadian team, we played both “Star Spangled Banner” and “O Canada”.
You also cracked me up with the lawnmowers. I have 5 acres at home and I use a lightweight tractor mower for it with a 52” cutting deck. That means with each pass I’m mowing about a 132cm swath of grass.
Lewis, it's not like they're riding sheep on concrete. They're on soft sand. The only risk would be if the sheep stepped on them. The kids also get to use both hands, unlike the bull riders. Good to see the bull riders wearing helmets though.
I live in the country and we ALL have lawn mowers like this lol. It is heaven you just put your earbuds in and drive, catch a little tan it is actually quite nice haha
Yes, we play the national anthem at all sporting events, high school and professional
At our county fair, we have an RV demolition derby, and "boat racing", where people hitch crappy boats to the backs of their cars/trucks, and race like NASCAR on a dirt track. Keep in mind, this is in an area with a very large lake.....the area is even called lake county. we could just do regular boat racing. Thats not Merica enough i guess 😂😂😂
Riding mowers are for acreage or some people that can't stand to mow. We have outdoor plugs for our mowers
What do you mean plugs I live on 1.5 I've seen electric gardening tools but never a mower. Is it like a electric riding mower? we got a 0 turn. Back in the day we had regular riding mowers like JD, or snapper.
We have a John deer diesel riding lawnmower that has a bucket on the front … it doesn’t plug in cause it’s not electric
In Tucson AZ we have Rodeo Weekend, a holiday. The banks close, everyone gets a paid holiday. There is a parade. In the Spring we have the County Fair with a traveling Carnival combo. At ours, there is all this and rides... Ferris Wheel, kiddie rides, scary rides, fun houses, etc. There are local bands and famous Singers/ Bands booked for each day. People sit on the ground picnic style and enjoy the music. This is the "red cup" area where beer is sold and you get a band on your wrist showing you are of age to drink alcohol.
Fiesta de los Vacqueros is lovely. Don’t forget the kidnapping of the hapless motorist to be in the parade, and a free Tucson weekend.
0:39 that is what we call a funnel cake. They pour pancake batter in a deep fryer through a funnel. It turns into a coily greasy ropes all tangled together. When it comes out of the fryer its covered with powder sugar on top. First bite is the best thing you ever tasted, but finishing a funnel cake turns quite difficult at the end inexplicably. Theyre served at fairs and festivals. Theyre actually quite easy to make if you can get a big deep fryer in the uk.
lol homeboy said vag 😅 what is more unbelievable is the lack of pride in the UK been watching your videos for a minute, but the consistency of you saying the lack of pride amazes me bro signed me up. I’m ready to fight for my country right now. That’s crazy dog. You guys need to be more friendly with each other. Give a random person a hug hold the door open for another person maybe even pay for their coffee or tea that’s crazy dude I couldn’t live like that, bro.
19:41 hay lew they race them aswell,lawnmower racing
Dude!! The riding lawnmowers are essential here it the USA, my neighbor had his license taken away for drinking and driving, so now he just drives his lawnmower anywhere he needs!😂😂😂
Which is also illegal if you lose your license. He spends half the day driving and doing figure 8's. We live out in the country! Seeing a man driving on a lawnmower drunk and being pulled over by the police is EPIC!😂😂😂
P S, I Miss the UK. I lived in Littlehampton, West Sussex for 3 years. ❤
The Mutton busting and greased piglets are actually useful. The mutton busting, trains young folk, for later rodeo work, the piglets is to teach them how to catch pigs.
I dont know if you know what all is going on across the pond but I wanted to tell you that you save me every night from jumping off a freaking cliff. You make me laugh so good. I don’t laugh too much. So thanks man!😊
My Mum’s partner was soooo happy when he finally got a John Deere seated mower for their yard. Every man’s dream.
Yes!!! We finally got a John Deere to mow the yard and snow blower... best thing ever.
I used to do inspections at all the state prisons. That free living comes with a lot of downsides. 😂😂😂
Wow! Jersey? I figured it was somewhere west of the Mississippi. As a Texan, I'd feel right at home.
I'm so glad she finally found something she liked.
10:39 pageants are a bonding time between mothers and daughters where they play dress up and work with each other. There are dads that go and support their daughters there during the event so ppl watching from the outside judge it knowing some men can be monsters. There are also mothers that get carried away. Just as there are fathers that get carried away with their sons in sports.
The funniest and most fun thing you'll see at a rodeo is muttin' bustin'!
I'm in Texas so they take it seriously, these kids are just playin' around. I've seen 4 year olds go the entire length of the arena with the clowns chasing after.
yeh, i'm from alabama, and this reminded me of back when i went to the state fair and a 'red' state rather than nj. and the reason i say that's the prayer, anthem, flags everywhere, music, and such, which many northern states aren't prone to do.
Sweet tea:1 make a pitcher of hot tea. 2 add sugar till it tastes sweet. 3 add a bit more sugar, and some lemon juice. 4 chill in fridge. 5 pour over large glass full of ice.
I’d leave out the lemon.
@cherylkelly1221 its a dash of lemon. Keeps the tea fresh. Prevents oxidation.
We have a greased (actually greased) pig contest for 4 different age groups in,our area every year. Which ever child catches the pig gets to keep it. They are not piglets, but a “normal” sized pig. So 4 pigs are given out because of 4 age groups. It is hysterical to watch, and great fun!
lol that jail cell is comfy. >.>
The jail cell that's scary is the one with multiple beds and your roommate Bubba who likes to cuddle.
The sauce with the fried pickles is called Fry Sauce. Its Mayonnaise, ketchup and a dash of mustard. Super easy to make. 50/50 Mayo to ketchup then ad mustard to your taste.
Lewis, I have 10 acres. We mow about 3 - 4 acres. You try to mow that much grass with a push mower.
I live in a city so my 0.5 acre lot seems a bit generous compared to many newer neighborhoods but it's still not huge by any means and it's split between the front and back pretty evenly. When we first moved in EVERYONE was telling my husband he needed a riding mower! I didn't think so, but I told my husband it's his choice because he's the one who will be mowing. He decided to just get the push mower and if he hates it he'll upgrade in a few years. It is self propelled and all that good stuff, and it only takes him 2hrs to mow the whole yard. I'm so glad he didn't waste thousands on a riding mower tbh lol and he weirdly really enjoys mowing! He likes being right on the ground to move things out of the way or whatever. Growing up I had family with many acres and they always said you don't need a riding mower unless you have an acre or more. But if I had that, I'd have goats honey! I wouldn't be mowing! 😂
I love looking at his videos! It lets me see we take a lot of things for granted. I can't believe how he tripped out on the riding lawnmowers. 😂😂😂😂😂 That's so interesting.
When I was a kid in England in the late 1960s, they would play God Save The Queen and everyone would stand at the cinema before the movie started. Longer movies also had an intermission when snack girls would walk up and down the aisles with a tray loaded with sweets and ice lollies you could buy. A lot has changed
Same in Canada. A very long time ago.
LMAO on the driving lawn mowers! And the Dixie chopper is priceless, first I've heard that.🤣
When we lived in the UK back in the 90’s we went quite a few county shows. They were mainly classic steam powered tractors and other farming equipment. It was fun and interesting for us Americans.
We had 3 acres in western NC where it rained almost daily during the summer months. Believe me, you needed a riding mower & most of the day each Saturday to mow & weedeat.
1:42 "AMERICARRR" 😂😂😂😂😂
Tractor pulls down here in Georgia are usually done with trucks to. The drag racing tracks also usually have a mini track for kids.
When I was a kid the local town celebration was the Irrigation Festival (long story) but there was a parade featuring the Irrigation Festival Queen. She was known among us kids as the ditch witch.😂
Deep fried pickles dipped in peanut butter....chef's kiss! 🤌
They didn't really show the tractor pull😡. They pull masive sleds that weigh tons through the mud. They need every bit of that horsepower
Great video as always Lewis. You should look up some videos on tractor pulls. They get ridiculous. From the Midwest and we do all this stuff just way bigger.
Yeah, I can’t get behind pageantry either. When little girls get dressed up like little Miss Americas with full make up And have a beauty contest. A big NO from me. 😬
Totally agree. Let them play make up. Set them in front of mirrors with a bunch of makeup and let them go to town. They are children!
Those lawn mowers were all zero turn mowers which many people still consider to be "commercial" mowers although more & more homeowners are buying them. We have acres of grass to mow so we have one. They are better than conventional riding mowers because of their extremely tight turning radius. They greatly reduce the amount of string trimming required to keep a lawn looking neat.
Yo Bro, LOL!! There was a meme 20yrs ago, of all these hot chicks crowding around a farmer on his big tractor, when they foud out that his big tractor cost more than a Lambo. 😆
As an American, you relating 'remembrance day' is a beautiful thing, and extremely important. God bless you, son. 👍
Sweet tea is something you either hate it or love it, there is no in between lol
Yep. I love no sugar iced tea but hate sweet tea.
Lmao free rent, free food, break from the old ball and chain 🤣 too funny bro
The pig scramble at our county fair is much different. They have a set number of pigs, usually about 10. And high school girls go out and try to catch the pigs and take them to a circle in the field. The ones that catch the pigs, then are given a pig, approximately 3 to 4 months before the next fair starts to raise and show in a special class at the fair. We also have a calf scramble in which high school boys have to halter a calf and drag it to a circle in the field to win that calf. Then they get to raise the calf for a year to show in the next year’s county fair.
We do also have a kiddy pig chase, which is very similar to what they showed except there are multiple classes based on age and the winner of each class gets a brand new bicycle.
you can make sweet iced tea EASILY! brew black tea, add sugar, let cool. put in fridge if you want, pour over ice...
Most lawnmowers in the US are gasoline. It's only in the last 20 years that they've been slowly switching to battery.
They often have a contest for largest pumpkin. Then various other fruit and veggies depending on the region.
