What is Rooster Day and pineapple whip?

With two of these 100's lists read, I may be forced to do one myself...I feel virtually no creativity and have enjoyed some of the unknowns about you...

Rooster Day started in the 1940's when farmers would bring their livestock, namely roosters, into town to trade. It eventually became a carnival/fair of sorts with rides, small town crafts, etc. My mom was the Honorary Mayor of Rooster Day in 2002-she got to ride on the back of a convertible Mustang! Pineapple whip is this ice cream, not ice cream substance that I have only ever had at the State Fair. Maybe other places have it?

Did you know that Jim Jones sold monkeys door to door as a boy? Just curious.
I really enjoyed the list!
