National Peanut Festival in Dothan Fall is in the air, which means it is getting close to time for the National Peanut Festival to kick-off. The fairgrounds open today at 4 p.m., but the festivities have been going on for over a month, with recipe contests, beauty pageants, and the like.

Events this year include a fireworks show on Saturday, November 1, Bucky Covington in concert on Thursday, November 6, and a demolition derby on Saturday, November 8. Dont forget the National Peanut Festival Parade on Saturday morning, November 8 as well!

This event typically brings tens of thousands of visitors into the Dothan area, and not only celebrates the significant contribution of agriculture to our area, but is also a huge economic shot-in-the-arm.

Charles - are you or any of your readers guarding a good recipe for spicy boiled peanuts? I can’t seem to ever get mine spicy enough. Surely the mecca that is the Dothan Peanut festival will bring some good ones out.

Thanks!
