Our Future Farmers Visit Peggy's

When questioned about memories of Peggy's, my husband of 29 years immediately recalled his first exposure to the infamous house across from the fairgrounds. In the late 60's he was in seventh grade and a tag-along with the FFA (Future Farmers of America) from a local high school. They were brought to the fair the day before it actually opened for the judging of the livestock. He tells that as soon as the bus came to a stop, all the older boys (Jr's & Sr's in High School) made a bee-line to the old house across the road. They were back just a little while later with long faces that reflected their rejection. They informed the little boys who weren't brave enough to go along that there was a sign on Peggy's door which said,"CLOSED--BEAT IT !"
