I had a good time at the fair this evening. After I got off of work at Boys & Girls Club, I met my friend Christy and we hung out for a while. When you plan to meet someone at the fair, where is your meeting spot? I always like to meet at the Channel 12 booth. It seems that everyone knows where that booth is, and there's a park area full of benches right next to it. However, before hitting that booth, I had some time, so I went to the Meadowlark Building and got some mini-donuts. The booth is called Grandma J's, and they sell a variety of things, but the mini-donuts were all I was thinking about. Grandma J's is right at the very front of the building. A half-dozen donuts is $1.50, and a dozen is $3.00. I give everything an A. I opted for the half-dozen. I feel like $1.50 is a great bargain. The cook makes the donuts fresh right in front of you, and they give them to you piping hot! They were so good, and the people were friendly. Thanks, Tammi, for the heads-up!
My friend and I went through the buildings looking for the best free stuff. I noticed that the knows a LOT of people. We had a good time chatting and browsing through the different booths. Afterwards, we were hungry, so we headed for the state fair's most famous food: The Pronto Pup! I've already had one this week, but one more is even better! Pronto Pups are $3.50, and as always, I give them an A. As usual, I slathered it up with ketchup and mustard. The local people that work the booth are always so friendly, and the Pronto Pups are hot! One disappointing thing I have noticed missing this year is the "No Taste Like Home" booth. They are the ones that sell the "Picnic On A Stick" that I enjoyed last year. I was hoping to get one of those this year. Christy and I enjoyed our Pronto Pups while watching the Ron Diamond hypnotist show. A good one as always!
It was a short trip to the fair, only a couple of hours, but we had a really great time! Christy and I have been good friends for several years, and just walking around was a lot of fun! It's so much more fun when you have someone to walk around with.
This was a short report tonight, but we kept it low-key tonight. I am planning on going back tomorrow night again. I have an inkling of what I may be enjoying tomorrow, but I'll keep you on edge until then. Thanks for reading, and I'll see you tomorrow night!
