The Fair
The West Virginia State Fair!
The food
Just to give you an idea of scale that is a 20 ounce soda behind those chips!
Oh no! Oh dear me NO!
Yes, that is a doughnut on bottom and another one on top with a giant burger with all the fixin’s in the middle. Wowza.
I ate a pear I picked this morning and a little later on a Luna bar and an apple. I also had a few bites of my sister’s piece of cheese pizza.
Tate saw someone chowing on one of these when we first arrived and…
Have I mentioned that my husband is not a vegetarian?
He ate about 4/5ths of the MEAT (and only complained a little about feeling ill from it 🙂 ) He recovered quickly from his meat coma.
Oh no, you can have the meat and dough but spare the vegetables!
This is more my scene, the prize-winning vegetables!
What makes a first place potato?
My niece and her BFF made this hilarious “funny produce” entry, it’s a yellow squash giving a pepper a tattoo! And they won first place!
Yep, that’s a wall of prize-winning hay…that’s West Virginia!
And so is this
I ADORE good ol’ WV, I really do. It’s just that I fit into the counter-culture much more than the mainstream around these parts and going to the State Fair is like stepping into a stereo-type.
The rides
My niece and sister got unlimited ride passes and went nuts!
I snuck on the last two rides with Zenya (well, actually the nice carnies let me on 🙂 ). It was fun but just two little rides made me a bit queasy.
We were there for 5 hours and by the time we got to the car I was hungry and my feets were tired! Time to hit the proverbial (prize-winning) hay, I will leave you with this,
