We went to the Fair today. Parking is $15. We were able to get a fairly close parking spot. Today was also canned food day so with three cans of food each, we got in for $2 a piece.
The Chevy test drive is back. There are Chevys all over the place. At the car exhibt we picked out what cars we'd consider if we were looking. My picks were the Nisson Rogue, Ford Edge and Toyota Scion XB. Those are the only ones of that type that my DH (who is 6'4") fits comfortably in. Honda and Kia were not represented. We also looked at four door trucks. We're pretty sure that DH will be getting one in the next year as a business write off, either Chevy or Ford.
The State Fair has lots of goods for sale this year, lots of places for vendors, more than I've ever seen. We actually made it into the Food and Fiber building in time for taste testing. We got to sample peanut brittle, cheese quesadillas and barbeque. There were other spots to stop too but we chose not to.
We got to see one show, the dog show. It was okay, not what I remembered it to be. But I'm sure all the little kids liked it.
We had our caricatures made. It's a hoot! We've never done that before.
And we tried the State Fair fried food winner, fried Frito Pie. It tastes like the frozen mexican dinners that I used to eat as a kid. And I did get the fried guacamole that Shyvioletisme recommended. It was good but I prefer my guacamole cold and with chips. But it was fun doing a couple of taste tests. I've never done that before either.
I also got my standard peanut covered caramel apple and ice cold root beer.
I've also found out that I can't walk around like I used too without a break here and there.
Guess I'm getting old.
The weather was good, high in the middle 80's. Crowds were light. All in all a really good day!
We've never taken DD. I'd love for her to see Big Tex. 
The State Fair is not my thing. I went last year because I had tickets to Mary Poppins which got me into the fair for free. We went a couple of hours early and that was plenty for another 10 years.
