Weiner AR through the eyes of Isaac Davis

    Imagine driving down a two lane highway breathing in the overpowering aroma of milled rice and freshly tilled soil.Eventhough Weiner, AR has a dwindling population of only 753 residents, two days out of the year "The Weiner Rice Festival" boasts being one of the most popular events in the South East U.S.
    To begin, Weiner, AR is one of the most well known farming communities in the eastern delta. Riceland Food's processing plant can easily be seen for miles around. This structure stands twelve stories tall.
    Furthermore, as one drives into town, they are overwhelmed by with the sweet sound of southern karaoke, flashing lights of the carnival rides, and the steady hum of a working rice mill.One of the greatest attractions is the tasting of  the "Weiner dog", which is comprised of jalapenos, mustard,and hot sauce all stacked on a thick bratwurst.
    All in all Weiner, AR is a simple agricultural town with few attractions. The Weiner Rice Festival is one of the many things that make me proud to call this community my home town.
