What can I say, we're totally fair goin' people. I don't know why. But there's something about going every year, in the blazing heat. Always in the late afternoon on a week day, just before sun sets when the crowds are light and we *think* the day has cooled off (but really it hasn't....). And our fair-going habit has only reinforced 10fold with Josie completely aware of the fun to be had. The county in which I grew up has their fair next weekend, so we might even make it to another here soon.
But this one, the one that's just a hop and skip away from home - is a really great one. Just the right proportion of city folk mixed in with the farmers. And every year, the kids barn is a true gem - always local farmers that love the kids and make it fun. Wilbur was especially fun this year, telling Josie a secret.
But darn, Wilbur sure is a wiggly one and didn't take kindly to being held. He sure was super cute though.
So we carried on and checked out every animal, every 4H exhibit, every food stand, gosh do I love fried veggies once a year, and all 5 of the JJ sized rides (several times a piece). We always leave hot, sweaty, tired and completely happy to spend a ridiculous amount of money for a ridiculous amount of fun.
