the great american duck race

The United States is teeming with exotic state fairs and funky festivals. At these celebrations entertainment comes in all shapes and sizes with roller-coasters, Ferris wheels, horseshoe tournaments, and barbecue cook-offs. In these lesser-known American fairs the main attractions are animals—but not just any animals. Far from the run-of-the mill horse shows and bull-riding rodeos, these exotic fairs feature less conventional sources of entertainment, from wiener dogs to worms.
