Faith County

Over this last weekend, the Iowa Blog Cabin's Lifestyle and Culture editors traveled down to Glenwood, Iowa to take in the Glenwood High School's performance of "Faith County." Let us just begin in by saying - we were impressed. We could almost smell the odor wafting from the upwind stockyards, taste the bitter lemonade, feel the passion of the wedding ceremony and believe the thick southern drawls.

Perhaps we're a bit biased, but the performance of Leora Darrah as Naomi Farkell, stole the show. She lived the role. She was the role. She played the part of this small town southern beautician so well we were ready to call in and make an appointment for a beehive first thing this morning.

The only disappointment was we didn't get to see the bust of Abraham Lincoln from her presidential bust series that would have surely won the Art and Crafts competition at the Faith County fair. Great job, Leora!
