Generations come together at a county fair dubbed Mississippi's 'giant house party'

Mississippi County Fair - (ASSOCIATED PRESS)

Each summer, hundreds of brightly colored cabins come to life with the sound of children playing and smells of Southern comfort food in what's known as Mississippi's “giant house party,” the Neshoba County Fair.

The fair touts itself as the largest campground fair in the country, where attendees cram into more than 500 two-and-three story wood cabins for eight days every year. The larger cabins can sleep upwards of 30 people, sometimes in the same room.
