Redneck?

The time has come in our small state for the State Fair! It seems to always hit during a massive heat wave, or a week straight of storms. This year, we get the heat!

I have mixed feelings about the fair. First of all, I think it is pretty boring. There are animal showings (sheep, cows, horses, etc.), food and art competitions, cooking demonstrations, FFA exhibits and Monster Truck shows. There are some concerts, but mostly country, which I could take or leave. I am not a huge enough fan to pay $70 some a ticket. Sorry. There are some very interesting people in the crowds, God love them. You know who I am talking about too....The ones with the mullet and too short jean shorts with cowboy boots. I just feel like a giant redneck when I am out there. I am a city girl. I love the people, the noise the lights, you name it. The pens of animals and manure in the air just doesn't do it for me!

One reason I LOVE the fair...the food. There are tons of vendors, and since I was pregnant last year (although I didn't know it yet) I was in heaven. I could always go for one of these :


I am sure at one point we will go out at night and take Patrick. I do like to at least walk around and play a game or two. (Side note, Patrick will NEVER ride the rides there. They take them down and reassemble them every week, how can that be safe?) But you definitely won't catch me there EVERYDAY! Some people are fanatical about it! I guess to each his own right?
