Rural gatherings? Boy, that's a stumper!

I am trying to think of what would qualify as "rural gatherings."

NASCAR is over. State fairs aren't until next summer. Most religious outdoor meetings won't happen until spring.

What in the world would qualify in this category?

Harrisburg (PA) has a statewide Farm Show in January - big event, perhaps tens of thousands in an indoor arena complex, but not exactly rural (unless you're comparing it to NYC or some large metropolis) . . . Hershey has a large new indoor arena for hockey, concerts and various shows (the park itself is closed for the season) . . . State College has the same (PSU on break right now) . . .

The only east coast gathering I can think of within the next two weeks (with the exception of New Year's Eve in Times Square) is the Philadelphia Mummer's Parade on Jan.1. Would Al Quaeda insult Philadelphia by calling it "rural"?

Is Disney World and Universal Florida . . . are they considered rural?
