Rob's State Fair Ramblings, Day 8

 Day 8 already? Say it ain't so! Seems like the fair only started last week...oh, just a sec....

I began the evening with toasted ravioli. This entree sells for $9, and you get a good amount of marinara to dip it in. I really liked it, and the guy running the booth was very friendly. I made my nightly trips through the buildings, and as I was doing so, a lady selling nuts asked me if I'd like a sample. "Cashew?" she asked. "bless you," I replied. The ladies behind the counter got a hearty laugh. The cashew, which was cinnamon/sugar coated, was wonderful! Then they offered me a free sample of their fudge. Guess my joke went over pretty well...? There were several varieties, but I settled for a tiny cube of cappuccino fudge. My goodness. I'm not going to say whether it was good or bad, but I do believe that this fudge will be in Heaven.  As my journey continued, I again saw my new friend Adrian, my Jewish friend from Israel. He recognized me, and I called him by name. He was impressed that I remembered. We chatted again for a few minutes before his duties called him to another customer, because he now knew I was not going to buy any beauty supplies. Is it because I'm handsome enough already, or is it because I'm beyond hope....? Lol. I was surprised that the DirectTV people weren't jumping out at people trying to sell their service, they were really wrapped up in their phones. One lady gave me a demo of her vibrating handheld tool, which was supposed to cure all that ailed you, but for $199, I had to move on. I wasn't really impressed with it, anyway. It was actually kind of uncomfortable, and just a tad painful. 

I took to the Midway to check out the rides, and I was able to see a lot of my kiddos, some who I haven't seen in a while. I got to see my nieces and nephew, who were having a good time at the fair. That's the best part. I love to see the kiddos from school and Club, and visit with their parents. I think I've already mentioned that a few times, but it's true.

I noticed that the boats are not there this year. The new fire station is occupying that spot. The RV's are not here either this year. In it's spot are several bounce houses that the kiddos can jump on for what I think is a ridiculous price. I'm kind of sad, because I've always enjoyed checking out the boats and RV's. In that area is a log cabin you should check out. This cabin is pretty neat, and is available to rent throughout the year. Next to the cabin is a space occupied by Dillons, which is always handing out single-sized cups of ice cream! Yum! 

By this time, I was wearing down. I've been working all day, and I'm not as young as I used to be. Tomorrow is Saturday, so I plan on spending the afternoon seeing more of the fair. Hopefully, tomorrow's report will be much more interesting. If you've been staying awake until the end of the post, you deserve a medal, Lol. Also, please leave a like or comment if you enjoy the blog so that I can gauge how many people are reading. Thanks, and God bless!
