It’s time for the fair!
I went to the fair Tuesday night with my husband and a couple of friends. It was nice to go on a weeknight because it wasn’t too crowded but still all the same fun stuff. We watched a little bit of the "Pork Chop Revue" – that’s singing pigs, people! Then we stopped for ice cream (mmmm…. blackberry!) and went inside the E-plex to check out all the crafts, veggies, photography, etc. that people had entered in the fair.
Here’s some of the prize-winning produce I saw! There weren’t too many of the huge vegetables that I expected to see, and unfortunately most of the veggies were started to wilt from the heat. But I still love a good looking tomato, I tell you what! (Props to Hank Hill.)
I was trying to conserve my camera batteries for the ferris wheel ride, so I didn’t get any pictures of the knitting entries, but I have to say… I think I could definitely win a blue ribbon! I need to remember so I can enter next year!
And I’ll leave you with a lovely view from the top of the ferris wheel!
And a teaser: I finished the back of the Cambridge Jacket AND I turned the heel on my second Trekking sock! Yippee! I’m that much closer to the end of the all-ribbing-all-the-time death march. Thank goodness!
I saw your pic on Flickr, it looks like so much fun!!
Yummy veggies too!
The fair looks like fun! YAY for being close to the end of the ribbing!
What about the food? *Surely* you had a corndog or two….
Looks like a blast!!
How fun!
Great photos there. Wee, fairs are fun! I guess one of the downsides of living in a city/district is that I have to travel out to go to a fair.
Did you eat a deep friend oreo?
Looks like a great time! Neat view from the ferris wheel!
Oh, I miss state fairs. Especially the Minnesota State Fair, with the butter sculptures. You just don’t see that in Chicago.
I love fairs! Except none of the local ones have knitting competitions, maybe I should go to our county fair…
