The day was so great to be going to the fair but it was crowded. We walked through the Agricultural Building with such a crowd that we left in a hurry.
I am glad the gladolias had beed judged because they were starting to wilt. It is the end of the season for them so they were lucky to have any to bring in for the contest.
Lunch time for one kid. The mother and child both had great coloring.
I was asked what we had to eat at the fair. We went to a horse show for an hour or so and then immediately bought a funnel cake with powdered sugar on it for a mid morning snack.
Later when we needed to make another scheduled horse showing we found the lines to get pork sandwiches two blocks long. To solve that problem we found a foot long hot dog stand and had fried onions and relish on them. They were so bad for us and tasted so good. We haven't bought hot dogs for years so it was fine cuisine to us.
On the long haul up the hill to see the Cultural Center there sits this wonderful wooden train. What a fun thing for kids to play on in spite of them required to stay off of the roof.
The fair is always such a good time, bad time thing. You do enjoy it all but the crowds get to be too much. We later learned it was Senior Citizen day and they did all show up for the fair. We enjoyed the time and saw so many things and so many different people. By mid afternoon we were ready to leave and try to find our car.
Water and Pepsi kept us from being dehydrated and I immediately made a good cup of coffee when we got home. Thanks for stopping by...............

Seems like the food at the fair is especially tasty and bad for us. Thanks for sharing such a fun day with us. That little kid and its mama are so sweet.

What is funnel cake, Larry? Sounds as if you might be dieting today.
Such rows of gladioli. It's like a village flower show here magnified a million times.
Funnel cakes are made from pancake batter. They dribble it into hot grease until it makes up the size of a paper plate. The batter is a little sweeter than pancake mix. Sometimes they pour it with a pitcher but originally they poured it through a funnel and the batter dribbled out into the hot oil. Powdered sugar sprinkled on it and that makes a sugar glaze over the top of it. The process assures you to get ten times more oil in your diet that you would have with a pancake.
Fantastic shots of the fair!
