The little town where I live is having a festival this weekend. You know those American festivals, full of food (something on a stick), music, art, and just lots of laughter and fun. The only thing is, the name of the festival in this town is just a little unusual.
You see, the name of the festival is Toad Suck Daze. Yes, there is a story about Toad Suck, where it comes from.
The legend, the story, is explained by Toad Suck Park Manager Scott Fryer to John Metcalf of Citylab,
“It’s where a ferry used to cross the Arkansas River from Faulkner County to Perry County,” he begins. “Well, the story is that at the time of the ferry boat, there was tavern on the Perry County side of the river that was a local hangout for folks to go down and drink alcohol and do other things frowned upon by the local communities. Some church ladies from nearby would say, ‘If you can’t find so-and-so, go down to the tavern. He’ll be sucking on a bottle so much he’s swollen up like a toad.'”
So, in honor Toad Suck, AR, and Toad Suck Daze in the town where I live, the blog post roundup will feature, ehem, interesting articles. Okay, to be honest, they aren’t as interesting at Toad Suck, but they are different a little fun.
