County Fair Time

This summer Matt and I are exploring our new region. And anything that we can do that doesn't require much driving is even better. Sooo, we went to our county fair. This fair had all sorts of advantages:

A. Matt's bank sponsors the fair so we got two free tickets (yay!)

B. The fairgrounds are about 4 blocks from our apartment so we walked saving even more on parking!

C. There was the possibility of elephant ears (and we all know how I feel about elephant ears!!!)

D. The intrigue of an activity called "cricket spitting"



So for the family members and friends who questioned the cricket spitting, I didn't actually see any crickets or other insects being spat out, but here's proof. We did see the Mutts gone Nutts, which was really cute and advocated for adopting pets from humane societies, a great idea.





The theme of the fair was "Year of the Corn" so this picture made perfect sense. The corn was yummy too.



I think this picture sums up our fair experience. Matt holding an elephant ear in front of the grandstand while truck pulling was going on (Bret Michaels was there the next night; we didn't go.) I thoroughly enjoyed my biennial elephant ear.

Yay for County Fairs!!!!! Support Local Businesses and Local Activities!!!
