We went to the fair this evening. When we first got there we were all starved so we ate. I had a pork burger, cole slaw and drink and then part of an elephant ear for dessert....LOL.

I was really disappointed in this years fair. We didn't stay very long, but honestly...other than the kids with the animals and all, doesn't anyone clean up before going out in public anymore. Most of the people looked like then didn't have a bath for a week or any decent clothes in their closet. I'm not talking dressing up, it's a county fair for crying outloud, but it looked like a bad part of a town or something.

My son was really interested in the truck bog, so he stood along side the fence to watch until they moved a big truck in his (and other's way). It cost $7.00 to sit in the grandstands and it was soooo not worth it to me, but he wished he had driven himself so he ccould have stayed and paid his way in.

I think my disappointment in the fair stemmed from not only the hygiene of the fairgoers, but my son is so grown up now and when I saw the tall slide...it broke my heart. It was his very favorite thing when he was little. He of course didn't want to ride anything and that was okay, I wouldn't have been able to go with him....lol. I do hope he asks a friend or two to go again with him this week so maybe he would enjoy it more than with his parents.

Did get to see some of my favorite bus kids so that was nice. Not sure if I'll be visiting the fair anymore this week. I may just save my money for the Hotdog Festival.
