The Curious Case of the National Peanut Festival
By Susan
At the end of the harvest season, the city of Dothan, Alabama, comes
together to throw one heck of a deep south shindig. Each November, the
National Peanut Festival (NPF) commemorates and celebrates the pioneers
passed that settled the city of Dothan and the plentiful harvest of
peanuts that promised prosperity. Picture a lively county fair, but with
a religious-like adoration for the peanut directing every detail, and
you’ve got the National Peanut Festival.
