people there than you will ever see in one place, the streets are packed solid full of people. During the entire two weeks of the fair around two million people will come to see everything with there being anywhere from 150,000 to 250,000 people that show up every day of those two weeks. The experience for me at this great event may be quite different than that of a tourist coming to see what is so great about this huge fair. I have been around pretty much the entire fair and tried so many different
turned into a year of memories that I will never forget. I have had the amazing opportunity to participate in what I think is the greatest fair in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Russell County has definitely spoiled me, especially in terms of horse shows; I definitely will not ever settle for less after spending hour after addicting hour down in the arena.

The Soviet economy heavily depended on its agricultural sector. From 1929 onwards Stalin began the enforced system of state and collective farms, known as sovkhozy and kolkhozy respectively. These collectivized farms ‘soon proved both impracticable and too costly’ (Davies 1980).

Robert Kenner along with co-writers Elise Pearlstein and Kim Roberts in 2008 to discuss the current origin of food production in the United States. This film takes viewers inside the slaughter houses, farms and factories that produce American food to show how food in the 21st century is no longer organically grown and raised for healthy eating.
