Rob's State Fair Ramblings, Day 4

Today was Dollar Day, where admission was only $1, or free with a Dillons Plus Card. My friend Christy (you made the blog, Christy!) spent the evening walking through buildings collecting free stuff (yeah, we're both into that, too, LOL) and sampling the goodies that the vendors had set out for hungry fair-goers. We were pretty impressed with the bee display, and spent a while looking for the queen (we never found her).

From there, we traveled to the Domestic Arts building to look at quilts (Christy is into quilts). I have never stopped to look at the quilts before, and I've been losing out. Some of those quilts were amazing. Christy would explain how the quilts were stitched and sewn together, and I'm in amazement. A guy that likes quilts. Will wonders never cease? Lol.

We both stopped for a must-have food for me, and a must-have staple for any trip to the fair. The legendary Pronto Pup! Don't dare call this a corn dog, this is a banquet on a stick! Pronto Pups run at $3.50 this year. They also provide Ketchup, mustard (Granny's Mustard!), and spicy German mustard, if you prefer to put that on your Pup. They were served piping hot and delicious!

As is our tradition every Dollar Monday, we rode the large Ferris Wheel, and the view of the fair at night is spectacular! Unfortunately, my camera does not function well at night, but I did my best. Christy took a pic of me with the lights behind me, and that should pop onto my timeline before too long. There was a group of kids in the basket next to ours that were standing up and sitting up on the sides. Made us very nervous! The cool thing about this ride is that on Dollar night, all rides are only 1 ticket, and the tickets are $1.25! The ride on the Ferris Wheel was well worth the price.

By about 9pm, both of us were spent, and we decided to call it a night, but not before we stopped by the petting zoo to see the baby goats! They were adorable.

I'm going to end this now, as I'm really tired and need to get to sleep. Before I close, let me know if there's anything you'd like me to look at, take a picture of, etc. I'd love to bring you the info on what you'd like to know about. Thanks for reading, and God bless!
