Today was Dollar Day! Admission was only $1, or if you had a Dillons card, you got in free. All rides on the Midway were only 1 ticket, and tickets were $1.25. My friend Christy and I continued our yearly tradition of hanging out on this Monday. We have a lot of similar interests, as well as very differing interests at the same time, so we get along pretty well. Since rides were only 1 ticket, we like to ride the big Ferris wheel. We enjoyed the view, and took quite a few pictures. We had some heart-stopping moments on this ride, as the kids in the seat next to our were rough-housing and acting as though they were going to jump out. At one point, they tossed a full bottle of water from the top. Despite their behavior, we enjoyed the pretty lights on the Midway. It was dark enough for the lights to be on, but not too dark so that we couldn't take pictures. After our ride, we were ready to eat, so we headed for the most popular food on the fairgrounds. Can you guess what that was? If you guessed the Pronto Pup, you would be correct! I always have high marks for these guys. The Pronto Pup is $3.50. The lady working the window was visibly hot and tired, but she still had a smile on her face as she handed us our Pup. Also on our agenda was a trip through the Pride of Kansas building, where I had a chance to reunite with Marco, the golden retriever I had a chance to bond with last night. He is so gentle and loving. There was another dog last night named Kora, but today was her day off. I will have to make a point to go in again and say hello to them. I would love to take that dog home with me. We had the opportunity to go into the Domestic Arts building to view the quilts. I might add that all during the night, kids from school and Boys & Girls club were constantly running up to us and saying hello (Christy and I work together and know many of the same kiddos). While looking at the quilts, she was able to tell me what kinds of stitching was implemented, and how the pieces were assembled. She knows a lot about quilts, loves quilts, and we enjoyed the many varieties, colors, and patterns on display. After quilt-viewing, were both pretty tired, and decided to call it a night. Another fun night with my friend at the fair.
Tomorrow is $2 Tuesday. Admission is regular price, but many of the food vendors will have $2 portions of their products available. At this point in time, I do not know which vendors will be running this special. It just depends on who decides to participate. I'm guessing they will have some sort of sign up if they are participating. I am making plans to be there (of course), and I'll bring you all the details in tomorrow night's blog. Yikes, tomorrow is the half-way mark! It's all going too fast! Thanks for reading, and good night!
