Plot Synopsis

Host Geoff Edgers, a reporter for the Living/Arts section of "The Boston Globe," travels across the United States, searching for unique festivals, adventures, and hobbies that locals do for fun. In each 30-minute episode, Geoff journies to a different state, where he participates in three activities: Oklahoma, where Geoff's wild-west cowboy adventure includes a calf-testicle festival in Stillwater, a rattlesnake roundup, and a black-powder shoot out; Oregon, where Geoff jousts on a tall bike, speed-climbs an 80-foot tree, and competes in a Pig N' Ford race, requiring him to race an 80-year-old car on a dirt track while holding a live pig; Pennsylvania, where Geoff braves a visit to Pittsburgh's Zombie Fest, meets kilt enthusiasts at Celtic Fest in Bethlehem, and crashes at the World's Largest Demolition Derby in Bloomsburg; Maine, where Geoff learns what it takes to be a great lumberjack at Timber Tina's Great Maine Lumberjack Show, sword fights at the Eastport Pirate Festival, and takes flying lessons at Moosehead Lake; Florida, where Geoff finds out what makes gator wrestling such a spectacle; Oregon, where Geoff attends the bike-bar-sponsored Biketoberfest in Portland; New York, where Geoff hops in a sidecar for the Catskill Mountain Thunder motorcycle fest and stretches his legs -- and his stomach -- during NYC's Pizza Run; and much more.
