The Fair

It's taken me weeks to post these photos but I am finally doing it. We have a great fair here every August. The donkey bites, the funnel cakes rock, the monster trucks are monstrous, the ferris wheel is high and the ticket takers aren't picky. Big Boy took a date and I just couldn't help but think of Fern Arable and Henry Fussy up in the ferris wheel together, holding hands. Then thoughts of Templeton the rat singing about the fair came to mind and I couldn't get that blasted tune out of my head.  You know the one about the fair being a regulary smordasbord, orgasbord, orgasbord, after the crowds have ceased.  And if you are familiar with that awful song then it's probably stuck in your head right now as well.. Sorry!

I like the inserted "Donkey" on this sign.  So classy.  We kept saying "donkeh!" just like Shrek.  Then he told us that "in the mornin' he was makin' waffles!"

The only reason to even go to the fair is for fried food. Love those funnel cakes!

i really hate fairs, the only thing that saves them is concerts and fried foods.

Come on you got to love the animals at the fair. Not to mention the exhibits! I never say such big tomatoes!

i do like some of the exhibits, but i could stay out of the stinky animal areas.

My county fair was a big disappointment. Perhaps I should try the state fair next year. I did manage to win canning supplies, though, so it wasn't a total wash.

Bring on the foods on a stick!

Great pictures! I love the fair! It is going to be one of the things I will miss about Maryland :(

I agree with Kristina…funnel cakes are great and make it worth going. Everything else? Hmmmm…not so sure.
