About
Nobody Planned For That Many Tourists
The Golden Years Gone Wrong - Book 10
Brindle Creek finally decides to do something sensible. That was the first mistake.
The town launches its very first Tourism Festival expecting a pleasant weekend of family entertainment, local attractions, and modest crowds. What arrives instead are busloads of visitors, overloaded parking lots, social media influencers, competitive retirees, runaway pigs, hostile geese, and enough bad decisions to qualify as a natural resource.
Charlotte Bell has organized everything down to the last parking cone. Sheriff Colton Smith has prepared for minor problems. The festival committee has printed maps, schedules, brochures, and safety guidelines.
None of it survives opening day.
The trouble begins with the first-ever Brindle Creek Bed Races, where senior citizens race fully made beds down Main Street while attempting to keep drinks in their cups and riders on their mattresses. The situation becomes considerably worse when Vernon Creek decides the event deserves Olympic-level dedication, Ken Scott starts explaining how bed racing was done in 1978, and tourists begin treating every near disaster as premium entertainment.
Meanwhile, children lose control of several greased pigs near the souvenir booths. The pigs immediately discover they enjoy freedom. The tourists discover they enjoy filming pigs. Social media discovers Brindle Creek.
Then the goose gets involved.
What starts as a simple tourism promotion slowly transforms into a county-wide spectacle featuring traffic jams, viral videos, overcrowded streets, confused volunteers, accidental celebrities, and one increasingly aggressive bird determined to establish dominance over visitors.
As online audiences grow into the millions, the town becomes internet famous for all the wrong reasons. Tourists arrive specifically to witness the chaos. Spectators begin joining the events. Vendors demand answers. The sheriff develops new paperwork-related stress conditions. Somehow, every attempt to restore order creates an entirely new category of disaster.
The residents of Brindle Creek have faced runaway goats, racing disasters, fishing catastrophes, hunting mishaps, trailer collisions, pie riots, timber festival emergencies, and traffic-control failures.
Nothing prepared them for tourism.
If you love laugh-out-loud small-town comedy packed with unforgettable characters, escalating disasters, and enough chaos to keep the pages turning long past bedtime, then you’ll love your visit to Brindle Creek.
