The smell of manure polluting your nostrils, thoughts of funnel cakes making your mouth water, and the excitment of the sizzler giving you whiplash...Fair week is simply magical!!
So far this week I've enjoyed the fair in many ways:
1. I've worked in the Kiwanis booth a total of about 14 hours, with about 5 more to go.
2. I've rode the sizzler, the tilt-a-whirl, the round-up, and the octupus (which broke while I was at the top of it)! ha
3. I've had 2 funnel cakes, 1 cotton candy, and no snow-cones...yet.
4. I've had a yummy Kiwanis burger.
5. I've laughed until it hurt.
6. I've screamed from 1 ride, get me off...I'm too old for this...I think I'm going to DIE!!
7. I've watched the PBR bull-riders show...which was awesome. Great bulls, great cowboys, GREAT Wrangler butts!
8. I've watched the sheep show. That was hilarious.
9. I've walked through the animal barns in flip flops and somehow not got any poop on myself!
10. I've looked at all the fun, odd, and unique fair entries: 4-H and Open class.
11. I've determined I should be voted on to the Fair Board! lmao
Today when I showed up to work at the Kiwanis shack this morning, I noticed the big tent that all the games were set up under was gone. In fact, the whole thing was. All the game stands were vanished. When I got inside I found out, the wind had ripped the tent into tiny little pieces and had blown the stands all over the place. Part of it landed on one of the kids rides and ruined it. It was one they had worked on all winter long and are now going to have to completely redo. Other parts of it were clear past the fairgrounds out in the street!! So, for the rest of the week, no games. Our fair is all done locally. We own our rides and people in the community run them and provide the games and run them also. Last year I drove the kiddie train all week. They didn't ask me to this year....I can't imagine why!! Those kids LOVED me! ha
Anyway, in honor of fair week, you should all go eat something fried or on a stick. It's only the "fair" thing to do ya know!!

Boardwalk food is pretty much the same as fair food, which is why I avoid going more than a couple of times per summer. The Smorgasbord is so tempting. I am jealous that you ate funnel cake. I didn't have one all summer.
