All's Fair

[catelin]

We went to the local County Fair this past Saturday. This was the 107th year. I wore my best Minnie Pearl straw hat and overalls. Jacob opted for his Hawaiian shirt and Snoopy hat...always mindful of any festive occasion (this outfit was a particular favorite of the carnies...heh!). Max went for the Jerry Garcia "dancin' around the sun" groove. We stuffed ourselves with bratwurst and sauerkraut, played every game on the midway, and made beards out of our cotton candy. It was a glorious day.

Fabulous! I'm jealous. Sadly, i'm missing the state fair of Texas this year. I made it a tradition to go with friends every year and eat my way from one end to the other. Mmmm, roasted corn on the cob, funnel cakes....oh yeah.

And the petting zoo! They have the best petting zoo, with things like evil-eyed ostriches that lunge at the little food cups you hold out. And don't forget the car show, with all the new models!

That's right! It is State Fair time, isn't it? I didn't realize that until someone mentioned going to the fair before the UT/OU game. This would be one weekend I'd definitely want to avoid...drunken football fans make me want to yak. ; )
