susandennisThe weather wasn't as good as it could have been in my book. There was too much sun so it got a little warm but it wasn't terrible and I spent lots of time inside anyway. The crowd was perfect. Enough people that you felt in the middle of stuff but not nearly enough to get in your way or cause a line for the toilet.
I think the first Monday is the best fair day of all.
Besides the weather, the only other disappointment was the food. Maybe my tongue has changed but, fair food used to be delicious. I finished half a corn dog and half an elephant ear and could have done without both. I think next year, I may stop for a big breakfast before I get there.
The drive down was great (as was the drive back).
The fair itself was wonderful! I wandered around and just enjoyed it all every bit. The animals were fun to see and the merchandise buildings were fun to walk through and hear the hawkers and see what was selling - and listen to the fair goers talk about it as they wandered through.
The exhibits were exceptional. There are two buildings of Hobbies that were amazing. I so love the grange exhibits like this one:
And then there was the exhibits of artwork and crafts. I just loved it all. This is one of the quilts:
On the way home, I stopped at Target to cash in on these which went on sale today:
I'm going to give them a try after dinner tonight. Stay tuned for a full review.
