Peggy's Fan Fair is the twenty-fourth episode of the fourth season of the animated television series King of the Hill. The episode originally aired on May 20, 2000, and follows Peggy Hill as she embarks on her dream of becoming a best-selling author.
Peggy becomes obsessed with the idea of attending a writers' convention after realizing that her hero, best-selling author Mary Kay Ash, will be in attendance. She convinces her husband Hank to take her to the convention in Dallas, Texas, and prepares herself to be discovered as the next big thing in literature.
Once at the convention, Peggy is immediately disappointed to find that the other writers and attendees are not as enthusiastic about her presence as she had imagined. Peggy's hopes are quickly dashed as she realizes that she is not the only aspiring writer at the convention, and that it will take more than just ambition to become a successful author.
Throughout the episode, Peggy is met with various rejections and humiliations, including being mistaken for a hotel maid and having her manuscript rejected by Mary Kay Ash herself. Peggy begins to lose confidence in her abilities as a writer, and her desire for success begins to take a toll on her marriage and personal life.
As the convention comes to a close, Peggy must come to terms with the fact that success in the literary world is not guaranteed, and that it takes hard work and dedication to achieve one's dreams. Despite her setbacks, Peggy resists giving up on her dream, and instead chooses to use the experience as motivation to become a better writer.
In typical King of the Hill fashion, the episode weaves together humor with a poignant message about the realities of pursuing one's passions. Peggy's Fan Fair is an entertaining and thought-provoking episode that will resonate with anyone who has ever faced rejection or struggled to achieve a dream.
