It started over two hundred years ago, the third Monday of Oct. the Judge would come to town to hold court and everbody would gather at the court house and trade
guns , knifes , dogs, and lies. Now its a big three day festable.
Welcome Hillbilly TH,I went there about 15-16 years ago when I was living near Ezell in Morgan county.I traded an old guy an off-brand .44 magnum I had for a Winchester 30/30 Buffalo Bill Commemorative w/octagon barrel.I think I got the better end of that deal! Those were the days!
I haven't been to court day in 20 years. I'm in Louisville. I haev friends who live in Mt Sterling, however, in a historic house called Mt Aerie or some such.
