Tonight I spent some time exploring the Tri-State Fair with friends. We sampled all sorts of food on a stick. Including jumbo corn dogs, roasted sweet corn drenched in butter and topped with cayenne pepper and parmesan cheese (sounds like it is almost a gourmet treat), german sausage on a stick, frozen chocolate covered bananas, funnel cakes, fresh squeezed lemonade and even jumbo turkey drumsticks. (Kelly is modeling the appropriate way to eat a drumstick)
I have never been one for playing games at a fair or amusement park, but I did make a special exception tonight. We played ski ball and several target shooting games. I was not able to convince anyone to ride one of the amusement park rides with me. When the guys learned that I have ridden POWER! in the past I realized how chicken they really are. ;-) Our group did leave the midway with a few stuffed animals. While it was tempting, I did not take home a goldfish. (Jenny introduces us to the newest members of her family.)
What would a fair be without animals and 4H exhibits? Our group traipsed through the 4H barn, but our largest chunk of time was spent with the horses. Kelly jokingly referred to me as the horse whisperer as I was able to coax even the shy horses to the edge of the stall to say hello and pet them. However, when Kelly would come near the edge of the stall the horses would often scoot away....unless Kelly had some hay for the hungry horses. Here one of our favorites illustrates why it is never to late to find a dentist you can trust. Regular cleanings are good for all, even horses.
