One poster said: "And, consider these incentives for camping or traveling with a trailer: 1.

The city-folk who rented trailers were people who wanted to "escape" the more sophisticated way of doing things."
We were also reminded of "The Long, Long Trailer" starring Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz

Susan Levinson gave us two links:
Despite the name of this company - which could be construed as a double entendre - this sounds like the "real deal" if you like handmade Kentucky bourbon candy: http://www.gethappyballs.com/
And here's the web site for the Rebecca Ruth candy factory (also in KY), which has been in operation since 1919 (be sure to click on "The Ruth Booe Story", as it's quite interesting): http://www.rrcandy.com/
