Rob's State Fair Ramblings, Day 6

I did go ahead and take a trip out to the fair after AWANA this evening. Preliminary reports said that is would be cold and rainy, but it ended up being warm and clear, and I was feeling good, so I went out, and I'm glad I did! I ran into a lot of friends out there! Shout-outs to Rob & Maureen, Christiana, Colin, Skeeter, Nancy, Shea, Lilly, Ron & Julie, Kevan, Karla, Daric & Jen and their son....I know I'm forgetting someone. Most of them had been to the Crowder concert, and were in good moods. Crowder is a Christian recording artist, and very talented, not to mention entertaining. I wish I could attend some of these Christian concerts, but they take place on Wednesday nights, when I have AWANA. That is where I feel I need to be. I'm not too devastated, though, as I got to see him at the last Winterjam. I was able to take my spot outside the gates and hear him sing his final song. The Grandstand, which has a capacity of about 10,000, was more than half full.

I didn't get much of a chance to walk through the buildings to get free stuff, as I arrived at about 8:45, and the buildings close at 9. I got a few pencils, and that was about it. I still have 4 days left to get more. :-)

Tonights's food shout-out goes to the elephant ear. This is a flat piece of fried bread which is buttered and slathered with cinnamon and sugar. They are yummy and big! Larger than a frisbee! Elephant ears this year are $6.00, and for an extra $1.00 you can get a fruit topping, such as strawberry or cherry, etc.  The consolation about not being able to indulge in the food is the fact that I can make pretty much everything out there, and at a fraction of the price. Maybe one of these days, my baking business can take orders, and I'll have a state fair food day! Sound like a good plan? The only exception is that I won't charge outrageous prices.

It is now 10:30, and I need to get some sleep. I want to thank you for reading, and may God bless you!
