Isn't It Kinda Fun?

We went to the county fair yesterday, which was pretty monumental I discovered, as neither Tarzan nor ATL had ever been to a county, state or other type of fair. The last one I visited was in The Frozen North when I was nine. So we were really excited to ride some rides, see the exhibits and eat deep fried stuff. Of which there was plenty to choose from: First we had "real food" from the Chuckwagon; Tarzan going for the complete brisket plate: That meat was really very good. I was far more impressed with his than my own. ATL had the 'big' doggie:
And she ate it all:I paced myself with the BBQ sandwich:Because the deep fried Snickers bar was on the way:Tarzan got his anxiously sought after funnel cake:And there were smoothies had by all:I'm not sure how I felt about the farm exhibits being sponsored by McDonald's but the animals were cute:Impressive:And funny:All at the same time. This goat had some horn issues going on:Everyone we saw laughed and told the same joke outside the miniature piglet pen:(So miniature we can't see them.)

When we needed to sit down we wandered over to the racetrack and watched a couple of horse races:Interspersed with dachshund races because watching those little short legs churn in the deep dirt is amusing. The horses were so much more exciting to watch live than on television. I even called the winner in the last race.

The garden house was gorgeous:We rode the Ferris Wheel naturally:And took this photo just for BHB:My favorite part of the day was the Lumberjack Show in which two guys - clearly college students earning money for school - dressed like the Brawny paper towel man, competed in lumberjack sports for our applause and amusement. There was Mike - our teams's lumberjack:And Sam, the other guy:And despite the dialogue being, well, scripted, I was greatly amused at the log rolling:

The tree climbing:

Pretty much all of it:

This is me and that was a good outing.
