Jasper County Fair

The Jasper County Fair is an annual fair that occurs in Jasper County, Mississippi. It is inexplicably a hot spot for surreal occurrences and nightmarish disasters, many of which are attributed to the giant stone head that has been present in the field where the fair takes place for over 3,000 years.

History
The Jasper County Fair was first held on September 15-25, 1856. During this first fair seventeen people gained sudden advanced knowledge on various scientific subjects ranging from botany to astronomy. One of the affected, one Thomas Grimm (1846-1912), gained sudden insight into subatomic physics and wrote extensively on the subject, eventually leading to the creation of the atomic bomb.

The second annual fair was an event to remember, as a rock the size of a fist fell from the sky and started glowing. Later all the grass in the field turned purple, which the residents of Jasper County used as a selling point to get people to visit their fair.
