Arkansas has some rather odd fairs and festivals covering everything from purple hull peas to how many ways you can cook a squirrel. One of the most ridiculously fun fests in the state is the Arkansas Goat Festival. On October 6th, 2018, folks will gather in Perryville celebrate everything goat from byproducts to costume contests. Let’s “goat” together and see what we can expect at this silly festival.
