211: The Most Fun Part of Summer: The Great Jones County Fair (Featuring the Knuth Kids)

This week on The Found Podcast, we're keeping things fun—literally.

Molly sits down with some very special guests who know a thing or two about summer joy: her four kids! Back by popular demand, Aiden (14), Charlotte (12), Corinne (10, almost 11), and Henry (8) return to the mic to share their favorite memories, stories, and can't-miss moments from over the years at the Great Jones County Fair in Monticello, Iowa.

With laughter, real talk, and kid-approved insights, this episode explores:

🎡 What makes the Jones County Fair the "Five Best Days of Summer"
🐄 The behind-the-scenes of showing cattle and the difference between a market and breeding calf
🎢 Favorite fair rides (including a wild Genesis ride story!)
🌭 The must-have food, from Chuckie's tenderloins to the iconic 4-H food stand
🎤 Their top concert memories (Lainey Wilson fans, you'll love this)
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Why this tradition matters so much to their family, and why it might just be perfect for yours too

Plus, parenting tip of the week from an 8-year-old: Want your kids to be totally wiped out (in a good way)? Take them to the fair.

Tune in for an episode filled with charm, chaos, and contagious joy, just like a good summer day should be.
