It's just a grand event every year and the need to go gets to me after a while and I feel the pull of the fairgrounds calling to me. This year we went three times. I prepared early and got discount tickets. Quinton even ended up on the news due to us getting up early to participate in the the Corn Dog Chomp. Free admission until 8 am on opening day and at 8:45 8400 people got a free corn dog to set a record.
The second time we went to the fair was to see Bob the Builder.... Quinton thinks that was the best 15minutes of the entire fair!
We also went to the Hands on Farm so Q could get yet another green Pioneer hat. It's a great addition to the fair that he has loved doing. You get a hat, apron and a bucket and you go out onto the "farm". After acquiring some seeds, you plant them and then the next stop has you harvesting the item and placing it in the basket. You go from stop to stop and pick up eggs, milk, soybeans, corn, wool, and apples. You use the soybeans to fuel the tractor (pedal tractor) and then you use the corn to feed to cow (you get to milk the cow to get your carton of milk) and the final stop is to sell your goods at the market to earn money to spend at the store. He always gets something yummy to munch. He actually milked the cow this year and tried to squirt me with it! (good thing its only water)The third time we went to the fair rode some rides...
The fair is over for another year and we will hope to be able to come back to it another time...
