If you didn't make it out to the Howard County Fair, you didn't miss anything new. At some point it might be a good idea to "shake" it up a bit and have more than the same ole stuff. Same rides. Same vendors. Same price for rides. Maybe I'm wrong...tell me about your experience. Was it your first? Your last? What was the biggest difference from last year or the years before?

When it comes to what restaurant has the best chicken wings in Howard County, there are really 2 main categories for judging. There is the chicken itself, of course, the taste and size, the different flavors available, like BBQ or Old Bay seasoning (must try). There is also the veggies and blue cheese dip. Some restaurants do not put too much value on the veggies, but it can make a big difference. Nothing is worse than some of the soggy celery sticks I have seen out there. And usually you can get wings during Happy Hour and save. So let's hear from you....who has the best WINGS in Howard County?
