When I was a lot younger, I worked in many small towns in the country. The best way to get to know the people in the towns is to go and sit in a bar and to listen to their stories.
Good luck in the contest!
This is a great post my friend!

I do like chatting to people at bars. The expat bars or the places with games to get people to move around and mingle are the best, but there aren't any near here.
Sad that there aren't many around, as here in South Africa we have one around every corner. SAB (South Africa Breweries) are the biggest players in the beer market, but many small guys also make their own craft beers.
Blessings!
