The Painted Honky Festival is a very popular annual event where slave owners have the opportunity to show off their slave properties.  The slaves are painted in whimsical and artistic ways and paraded through the streets of the city. During the parade, spectators vote for their favorites.  The winning painted honky will win a large cash prize for it’s owner.  At the end of the day the highest rated painted slaves are put on display for all to see.  And the winning slave is sold to the highest bidder.
