  About five years ago, a good friend of mine told me there was a festival in her town every year.
  
  She said it was called Hillbilly Days.
  
  From that exact moment, I knew at some point I would be going to Pikeville, Kentucky attending this wonderful event.  Finally, in 2010, it happened.
  
  Hillbilly Days is a wonderful event. I ate fried oreos and fried cheesecake, saw the world's largest steer AND the world's largest horse, and I got to have a few beers at Champs.
  
  Champs isn't the only drinking establishment in Pikeville, but it's the only one my friend and her family wanted to go to.  They are very well known here, we quickly got a big table outside and just hung out for a few hours while the thousands (literally, 150,000+ people come through Pikeville for Hillbilly Days) of other visitors walked down the main street in town.
  
  We also got a platter of the bbq they were selling for everyone to share.  I don't know if Champs normally serves food, but if they do, get some, because this was great.
  
  I don't know the next time I'll make it to Pikeville or Hillbilly Days. Luckily, I have my pictures, my memories and my t-shirt that says "It's a Hillbilly Thang, You Woodn't Understand."  If I do go back though, I'll be sure to be sitting outside here again for a PBR or two.
