Come on Out...

To the State Fair! It's the time of year when the funnel cakes are fried up, and rides are assembled (again), different acts come to play and some, umm, shall we say, interesting people, come out to take part in the festivities.



I always remember going to the fair, ever since I was little. We also made a point to head out there at least once in the ten days that it was here. I have to say the best part of the fair is the food. Everything from kettle corn, to ice cream, to fried snickers bars and corn dogs. I could never bring myself to get on the fair rides like all of the other kids though. The thought of them being disassembled and then assembled again every ten days or so made my stomach turn. How can that possible be safe?

My parents and I always liked walking around the different vendors, getting a bite to eat and then calling it a day. My husband's family, on the other hand, had a camper set up and would be there all week! Some people just absolutely love it! Don't get me wrong, I will visit at least once, and we have a concert to go to too later in the week, but there is no way I could be out there everyday! There are only so many pigs and cows you can see!

I have to say. There are some very interesting people that come out of the woodwork. There are the country kids who live for this time of year! They just love everything about it. I guess since my parents are from the city, I was never exposed to any of that, so I just don't get why it is so amazing.

Either way, the fair is here, and I will at least get some kettle corn to eat!
