Somewhere in the middle of nowhere in the south, there's a place where the bee-hive hairdo is still the rage and Saturday nights are reserved for the tractor pull in nearby Pickler. A colorful collection of good ole' country folk gather 'round for this year's county fair, and there's stiff competition in the arts and crafts category.

Faith County enjoyed a thirty-five week run on WLYX and was featured on the television special, "Dateline."
