Night at the Fair...

We all decided to go to the fair at about 7:00 last night... and we had the most fun... although it really didn't start out that way.

It is only about a half hour drive away... and really that is how long it actually took to do the drive... Unfortunately we had to wait another hour to get a parking spot. And that spot ended up being a good mile from the actual fair. Needless to say, we were all pretty crabby from the wait but looking back it ended up being worth the wait!!

So, after we finally parked and did the trek to the fair we were all pretty excited to see what this whole event was about. There was so much to see, rides with all the flashing lights, carneys, food stands, concerts in the rodeo section, hyponistists, palm readers, booths selling trinkets, and the area where they judged the plants, flowers, canned goods, and what not. We ended up eating a little bit, watching the concert (which was Jars of Clay), laughing at the hyponistist, and watching the strength test game that they have at all the fairs. It was so much fun we were there for a few hours.

One thing that I noticed was there was no beer tent. I guess that I am so used to having the beer tent at all the festivals it just caught me as funny... just an observation.
