State Fair Visit

I know I have said it before, possibly many times. But I could go to the State Fair every single day.

Of the year.

They are little horses.
And big horses.
Cars with lots of horses (SUNY Morrisville project).
OmLet chicken coops. No, really.
Sheep.
Goats.
Pigs. Lots of pigs.
Cows.
Rides (we didn't go on any this year).
Educational displays and demos.
NY produce.
Flower shows.
Traveling homes made from a single log.
What, you don't believe me?
Butter sculptures.
Sand sculptures.
Spas (to quote Bill Engvall, "Since when did spas become an impluse buy?")
And lots of entertainment.

And that's just after a 6 hour visit! Imagine what we would have seen if we went every day. We did miss the rodeo which ironically was held the night we were there. If only we had known! Here's a tip - if you ever see an event on the schedule called "Bulls and Barrels," make sure you include that in your State Fair tour. That's what we are going to do next year.

You forgot 1 item: the FOOD! The state fair is my one big time of the year that I splurge. From traditional fare like corndogs and cotton candy - to more exotics like ostrich sandwiches, and emu its the one day that I try a little of everything.
